As such, I felt compelled to go healer on your poll.However, what I think is interesting here is the spectrum of divine roles. At one end you have the holy warrior empowered by their deity and faith. At the other you have the priest (or contemplative if you like that 3.x prestige class which I think embodied the opposite end of the "cleric" spectrum).A Paladin is a divine knight or flavour of Cleric while a priest is more the healer/diviner. Cleric I suppose fits uncomfortably across the spectrum depending upon deity and influence.In terms of 5e, perhaps both the paladin and priest should grow and develop from upon a cleric foundation?Best RegardsHerremann the Wise</blockquote>
