Clerics were long my favorite class as well (and I still really like them, to a certain extent). In basic D&D (the game I spent a large part of my elementary school days playing), nobody else wanted to be a Cleric. I wanted in on the game, so I made one. I found that, although I had slightly fewer HP, did slightly less damage, and had a slightly less impressive THAC0 than the Fighter, I was pretty close. On top of that, I had spells. Lots of spells. Maybe they weren't as flashy as the Magic User, but he was a squishy punk in bathrobes. At least I could still function as a useful character when I ran out of spells. When I played a little 1e, and a whole lot of 2e, my eventual favorite character was a Dwarf Fighter/Cleric (I had to add Fighter because now they would start to get extra attacks!). 3e came along, and I tried a lot of quirky classes. But I came back to the Cleric. Now I didn't even have to prepare curing spells, I could just drop any spell for a cure!Clerics can be a lot of fun if you know how to play them. The fact that nobody else wants to play them makes it even better.</blockquote>
