A melee-based cleric who uses divine power and all those spells isn't looking at the fighter going "HA HA I'M BETTER THAN YOU"; he just wants to play the game and he's no different than the fighter picking up Imp Crit and vorpal weapons.The problem comes with the fact that the some classes have more options. That the melee-focused cleric can do his thing in addition to the normal cleric-healbot/undead nuke.Here's a great example: The Druid with the feat "Nature Spell". Now, the Druid can fight like a fighter and gets to use all his spells in his combat form. Is the player being an asshat? No, because any druid in their right mind would take that feat because it's simply the best feat for a druid. But it still allows him to do most of what the fighter can do AND cast all his spells!At higher levels, you're stupid not to abuse the system. Seriously, who wouldn't use Fly or Improved Invisibility? Who wouldn't use Stoneskin? Who wouldn't use save or dies? It's too good not to use your spells while you're a melee monster. They're effective. The problem is that effectiveness = kills fun or overshadows other people.</blockquote>
