[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 6089997, member: 2067"] ...so then you don't want a cleric to be necessary to gameplay, after all? Well, then, I guess we are basically on the same page. :) So your experience of D&D cannot abide the existence of a mechanic that, for instance, allows a fighter to actively parry a blow? And you believe this experience of D&D must be the basic experience of D&D? I've never been a big fan of 5e's HD, but that doesn't mean that I want to make the party cleric something that is mandated to exist lest the party suffer for it. I'm also still not sure why mandating a cleric is something that is better in the basic rules than as a standard or advanced option -- how does that help the basic version achieve its goals?
