Do you make clerics research new spells not in the PHB?

[QUOTE="joethelawyer, post: 4672965, member: 55764"] Wizards must, regardless of they are in the PHB or not. They must either loot them, buy them, or research them. How about clerics? I am thinking about introducing some spells not in the PHB into my campaign for clerics. It seems somewhat unfair to wizards that clerics just get them if they are allowed into the campaign. Does anyone use the option that a cleric must research a non-PHB spell in order to get it? Through a program of prayer, meditation, burning expensive incense (hence introducing a cost factor) etc? If they get it, does any cleric of the order of that god get the spell too? Or just the cleric that researched it, hence making it more special? Do you use a cost similar to that of wizards reseaching a new spell? Do "prayer books" exist with new spells for clerics, much the same way as spell books do? If looted, would they be generic or just to certain gods, or gods of certain alignments, in a language only clerics of that god understands or can make use of? Can a cleric pass along that special prayer to his acolytes setting up certain sub-orders in a faith, depending on a common theme of these specially researched prayers, and a master teaching it to his acolytes? How do/would you guys do it? Thx Joe [/QUOTE]
