[QUOTE="ForceUser, post: 1546264, member: 2785"] This is the only point you made I'm going to bother refuting - for the rest, we're too far afield in our opinions. Suffice it to say that my group has long in-game experience with the Radiant Servant and I stand by my analysis. It's overpowered. As for the Healing domain, I stand by my assertion there as well, and I will defend it. Sometimes its the most innocuous abilities that are the most powerful over the course of a campaign. The granted power of the Healing doamin, +1 caster level on cure spells, may not seem like much, but it adds up in a major way over the long run, the same as that incredibly useful feat, Weapon Focus. Unlike most feats, Weapon Focus applies every single time you attack with your chosen weapon. The Healing domain power applies each time you cast a cure spell. Every - single - time. If you cast a cure spell five times you've healed 5 extra hit points. If you cast a cure spell 1,000 times over the course of a campaign, you've healed 1,000 extra hit points you wouldn't have healed without this domain. That [u]is[/u] powerful. That is why Healing is one of the most powerful domains. I hesitate to speculate, but perhaps you are looking at powers on a per-usage basis, i.e. what does it do for me right now? I am viewing this domain from a campaigner's perspective. Every time your cleric heals, he is that much more effective. It's subtle, but it adds up. Healing is one of the most powerful domains.
