[QUOTE="Leatherhead, post: 5890571, member: 53176"] The people in this thread. It's full of allusions to fire, fireball, fireball and other such spells being "flashy", and wizards having blasty spell niche protection. It was also in the D&D Pax East panel. About 16:10 they start talking about blast spells, specifically fireball, being the "best" spells. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yoa_xQTya8Y&feature=player_detailpage#t=967s]The Future of D&D Panel at PAX East - 2012 - YouTube[/url] So if I am talking about fireball, I'm not the only one doing it. Well, not really, clerics in 3rd and 4th edition could blast quite a bit. What separated clerics from wizards were the spellbooks, healing spells, and heavy armor. But besides that, maybe there is something wrong with this tradition. The subtle clerics have been quite under-popular in my experiences. Most of the clerics I have seen played have been the smite-happy (melee or spell) kind. Heck, I have seen more groups forgo clerics for other options despite healing being more or less a necessity for combat. I don't watch T.V. anymore, and I never really cared for the Sword of Truth series. But from what I have read of it, the magic system was far more, intimate (for lack of a more diplomatic word) than what D&D is used too. So yes, anyone from that series would be a bit bizarre to use for an archetype. But I am almost sure that is not quite what you meant. [/QUOTE]
