[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 6347877, member: 5100"] I'll play the fighter. Then again, I'm usually the DM, so it's a mismatch. As a DM, the numerical superiority isn't a big deal. If you're a cleric our druid, you're beholden to a deity or nature itself, and wrote unto you if you use that power casually or in a way that doesn't benefit your calling. Never say never, but neither of those classes will typically just go on a dungeon raid. I also have no problem telling the player, "You haven't really seemed too concerned about your doctrine. Maybe you should consider taking this level as Fighter instead of cleric." The second conversation like that isn't phrased as a suggestion. More than any other class, clerics have huge role-playing requirements. Even paladins should get off easy by comparison. Paladins are fighters so pure of heart that they're given some perks to help them fight. Clerics have such loyalty, fervor, or like-mindedness to their deity that they're set apart from even other priests by the power and blessings they receive. Of you aren't willing to play that concept, then don't bother with making a cleric for my table. [/QUOTE]
