[QUOTE="ForceUser, post: 2405884, member: 2785"] In our view, clerics are not just "guys who cast divine spells." That's absurd to us. They are a chosen few, exalted individuals ordained by God(s) to prosectue holy wars, defend the faith, and live up to the same ideals that real-world Christian clergy, Islamic clerics, or Buddhist monks aspire to. It's not a role to treat lightly; we don't use the standard D&D gods, instead, we form our own cosmologies and homebrew religions that are more "true-to-life." This is how the majority of us, especially we three DMs, enjoy the game. We always warn people thinking of playing divine PCs that this is the standard they must role-play--they must play divine proxies and emissaries of their deities. Guys who just want to be self-buffing fighters have plenty of other character options (battle sorcerers, fighter/wizards, psychic warriors, etc...there are tons of other ways to play this role if that's all you want to do).
