Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wulf Ratbane" data-source="post: 39412" data-attributes="member: 94">I am the only cleric player I know who can consistently be counted on for healing. I am actually playing a shaman (war/nature) from OA, but it's basically a cleric. And although my character concept is a martial arts warrior, and I actually have 2 levels of fighter to support my unarmed combat fetish,  the other cleric player (Tyr--War, Destruction) can't be counted on for clerical support. If I didn't do the healing we'd all be dead several times over. As a consequence, I've thrown the d20 maybe 5 times in my career so far (nearly 6th level).What drives me up the wall more than anything are low-level clerics who are fighter wannabees. Look, guys, at low level, clerics pay off MOST directly by healing up the real fighters. If you want to fight, play a fighter, dammit. When your cleric is 12th level and you have the BAB, the spells, and the feats to really buff up for combat, we can take another look at your role. Until then, just shut up and get jiggy with the healing wand, ok?It helps me a great deal that shamans start with an animal companion. She contributes to fighting (and gives me my combat fix) and my shaman just runs around healing and buffing.Wulf</blockquote>
