Is the Cleric really one of the ‘core four’ anymore?

[QUOTE="Henry, post: 6501047, member: 158"] My mileage does :) - Cleric used to be one of my favorite classes prior to 3e. From the mechanical side, it was indispensable - no sane party in AD&D left the front door without a cleric. Every PC knew better than to be abusive to the cleric, because that meant they were last in line to get healing from me. "oops, sorry, i just used my last cure light wounds on the rogue. You'll have to dig up that healing potion you've been saving or wait till tomorrow." From a role play perspective, I always liked to be the character who KNEW what the afterlife held for him. There is a certain freedom in duty and obligation, and knowing the right thing according to doctrine - and being able to tweak the villain's nose in what the villain was doing was only going to set him up for Afterlife as a lemure, or dretch, or some devil's plaything has a set of reassurance all its own. :) [/QUOTE]
