[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 2867739, member: 12460"] I don't feel justified voting in your poll because I feel this alternate cleric changes the basic party role a cleric fulfills. It turns him into more of a spell-slinger warrior than a support character or healer. Let's be honest for a moment. Despite the wide variety of options a cleric has, all parties expect him to be able to do at least one thing: heal. The cleric is there to keep the party members from dying. The cleric of Wee Jas who never prepares healing spells and spontaneously inflicts may be an interesting concept, but they are not fulfilling the cleric role very well. Such a character would be better suited to filling the party fighter role since her inflict ability, death domain, and buffing spells would make her a significant combat threat. Your cleric really can't be compared as easily to the traditional cleric because he is a drastically different kind of character. If you wish me to evaluate the alternate cleric based on how it relates to the traditional cleric, I would have to vote "underpowered" because the class does not accomplish the traditional party role of a cleric as well as a typical cleric does.
