[QUOTE="Brother MacLaren, post: 1571622, member: 15999"] If you actually allowed wizards access to healing spells at, say, +1 level (CLW at 2nd, etc), what would be the effect? What would happen to the game? Would people stop playing clerics? Would they continue playing them and expect to shoulder less of the healing burden? Would this be more fun or less fun for the players of wizards and clerics? What would happen to the game world? Would wizards be even more dominant in the world? Now, back to the overall game design concept of the divide between arcane and divine, I rather like it. The D&D Gazetteer for Glantri had some interesting bits based on the rivalry between arcane and divine - in a nation ruled by wizard nobles, casting diving magic or preaching about the gods was a capital crime. This maintained the wizard's monopoly on power, but meant that the country was vulnerable to ordinary mundane plagues (as well as magical ones). [/QUOTE]
