This is one of the reasons that I really love the concept of Favored Souls over Clerics.  Besides the fact that I like the mechanics of the FS (minus wings) much better than the Cleric, I find that Favored Souls fit the adventuring/butt=kicking image I have that most people fit clerics into.  Not that the cleric doesn't fit, mind you.  I just personally think that the FS fits better.I used to play a bunch of clerics all the time.  Now I hardly ever play clerics.  I opt for Favored Soul almost always.  It is mechanically much easier, they don't have the clunky turn undead mechanic to worry about, and their spell list is more challenging.</blockquote>
