[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8122663, member: 29398"] I once - and only once! - tried playing a hard-line zealot Cleric who would only cure members of her own faith; to the point of "Convert or die" if someone was down and bleeding out. This happened often, as we were raw 1st-level at the time; and even though she was the only healer we had, as no-one else in the party was of her faith* she didn't have to (or get to) do much curing. She also made no friends whatsoever. :) Then my Cleric went down, having got a bit separated from the party during a rolling combat. Had someone got to her and patched her up her odds of survival were good. Three party members raced toward her from different locations - and I-as-player know full well what's coming next: each of the players had independently passed a note to the DM saying variants on "If I get to her first, finish her off!". None of them got the kill, however, as the monsters finished her off first. :) * - if memory serves, both she and her deity were LN thus her deity wasn't anything offensive or evil. [/QUOTE]
