[QUOTE="Warpiglet, post: 7422591, member: 6689161"] Word to your mother! And it is the way I like it! I must apologize outright and say I have never gotten into Warcraft (aside from the FIRST and SECOND ones in the early 90s!) and dislike the nomenclature of striker etc. We make characters and play, period. I enjoy the idea of being able to be and play in many different ways. No restrictions are not my goal--that is boring and there is no playing against type--but having mandatory classes is not for me either and never has been. We played TONS of AD&D (gygax version!) and often had no cleric. On other occasions we played antiheroes and the clerics were very stingy with healing. In those cases we knew we had to be more careful and had to try and find, buy or steal healing potions and other means of healing. Ironically, I always play warlocks but had one 5e cleric. This thread has given me the itch to play another fighting cleric! I am thinking Life cleric for the first time ever. A real zealous churchman sent to cleanse the lands of undead or other evil sh*t. Maybe heavy armor master at first and (gasp) weapon master at 4th so I can swing a maul! He will be able to heal, no doubt but I am thinking more spiritual weapon and maul action than anything. Sounds fun! And to take on that holier than thou mantle again...its been ages! [/QUOTE]
