[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8123827, member: 20564"] I [I]can[/I] cancel my plans to be out of town, but because I choose not to I'm a bad friend? Again, the cleric isn't doing nothing. The cleric is effectively contributing. There is an opportunity cost for the cleric to not do that and heal instead. One that at times is not the right choice. Casting Spirit Guardians to damage a bunch of foes and slow them so they can't reach the sorcerer in the back. Other crowd control or action denial spells. Getting off a Bless so we can drop the hard to hit foes quicker instead of topping off one fighter. Or maybe even just getting off an attack or cantrip on a foe about to drop before they get their action again. You are espousing a very selfish viewpoint that clerics - and friends - must prioritize your needs first, and find them at fault when they choose not to do so and take care of what they want to do.
