[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5704310, member: 51930"] I like the idea of every class having something they can do to aid other characters. I like that a lot, actually, and it's something to consider. Healing is the gorilla in the room, and it defines play experience for a system and a setting. Is healing based on potions? On spells? On medical checks and sci-fi bacta tanks? Because of healing, Clerics were mandatory. On the other hand, theoretically wizards can do a lot to help others, but don't due to blasting potential: who wants to memorize a few possibly-useful spells if you're only really likely to need a certain handful of energy-based magical attacks? Even without wands of cure spells as an option, I think everyone looks to the game sans magic, and especially at the first 7 levels, as the key to whether or not a class is needed. Clerics are the only real healers for a 1st level party. There aren't other options. Fixing healing is still a huge deal. [/QUOTE]
