[QUOTE="Jer, post: 4216168, member: 19857"] If this were JUST an "introductory product" then your point MIGHT be valid. I might dispute it on the principle that just listing those things is enough for a creative 12 year old to know what sorts of things the priest can do just by the name - if one of the PCs gets a disease she can cure it, and if one gets killed she can bring him back. Maybe the game also gives a gp figure for her to perform these rituals for the PCs. You don't really need more than that. But I don't have to dispute it on THAT principle. Instead I'll just point out that, in addition to being a preview product, this is also the first adventure in the first 4e Adventure Path. And so even folks who own all of the core books might be running this adventure as if it were any other 1st level adventure - and that bit of information is worth having in an intro adventure. Just because it has value as an intro product that doesn't mean that it's valueless for those who already own the books. And now, I do the happy dance. Because this is an acknowledgment that the designers might just be thinking "not all priests are clerics". And if they apply that thought to PC classes, I'll be a happy camper. [/QUOTE]
