[QUOTE="Epametheus, post: 5019214, member: 719"] I play a pacifist healer elf cleric in one of my games; the character is pretty ridiculous, even if she obviously can't do much damage at all. (I have Sacred Flame and use it to pop minions occasionally.) The elven accuracy power is really nice, especially since there's another feat you can take ("Corellon's Blessing") that lets you heal someone within 5 squares when you hit with the re-rolled attack. Though I don't think the Blessing heal benefits from pacifist healer or healing lore. Between that and Healer's Mercy, my L8 elf has essentially 5 encounter heals. (I took Bastion of Health at L6; I did NOT take the L2 Life Transference because my cleric has only a 10 con and can't really afford to inflict damage on herself). 5 encounter heals would probably be excessive if the group was smaller, but until recently she was the only healer for a group of 6 PCs. Also keep in mind that the non-damaging powers out of Divine Power are stupidly strong; whatever budget they use for building powers apparently gets enough leeway for really unfair things once a power doesn't have a damage component. What it pretty much comes down to is that a pacifist healer clerics tossed out heals equivalent to a non-pacifict cleric that's a tier higher. If the party needs that level of healing, than it's worth it if you're fine with merely screwing monsters over instead of damaging them. [/QUOTE]
