Whether or not it is inappropriate depends upon the campaign. If it was inappropriate, the DM should have disallowed it (the character would not be allowed in my campaign, because the deity of disease is an evil deity with evil clerics and I don't allow evil PCs).  As for not wearing armor or carrying only club, I don't see a problem unless an individual campaign is so heavily focused on combat and part of the social contract (set by the DM or the group as a whole) is that all players will be combat effective. Two editions had options for non-combatant PC clerics.  2e Specialty Priests could have a wizard's based THACO, d4 hit die, and no armor proficiency depending upon the deity. 3e's Unearthed Arcana had the cloistered cleric with Poor BAB, d6 hit die, and leather armor proficiency. For my own campaign, most clerics are based off of the cloistered cleric, because most of the deity's are non martial.</blockquote>
