My pre-order of the hardcover is scheduled to arrive August 28. I thought I'd wait to read through the official release before deciding whether to implement it.

Bumping this to the first page on the hope that Merlin's Shadow will show up. Last day, then I'll think about how I prefer to go about business w/o him.

I've had no response from Merlin's Shadow in any form by which I've tried to contact him--not e-mail, a posted note on his account here, or by paging him to this thread. I'm putting his character on NPC status, to be played by me until such a time as we work out how we want to move forward with the cleric slot for this game.
You'll want a healer in the group. I'll want you to have a healer in the group. Ya'll are roughly halfway to 2nd level. Is there one among you who may have been toying with the idea of a multiclassed character and is interested in pursuing levels in cleric? Please don't answer in the affirmative unless you genuinely were gunning for multiclass xx/cleric.
If no one feels compelled to multiclass to cleric starting at 2nd level, then I think we still have numerous options, the chief two of which in my mind are for me to either gift the five existing players with healing potions and/or a special wand of some sort, or we can recruit for a sixth player to fill the cleric slot.
I'm open to your ideas. My primary concern is party cohesion and making sure that those who play in this game "gel." If any of you are feeling like you particularly want or don't want to pursue the options I describe above, please speak up.

I like playing clerics, but I kind of feel like Tac's concept doesn't really lend itself to the clergy. Barring a few significant in-game events to move him that way, he's very much a character drawn most to the material world. Mind you, I have no idea where this AP is going; for all I know, the next few encounters might be the kind of thing that turn Tac to thoughts of the next world. 
If no one else wants to multiclass, we do have a Paladin and a Ranger, though. Since both of them have CLW in their spell lists, I think they're both able to use wands of same, which might be a decent choice for now.

I'm not really in a position to multiclass with my monster class. In my experience a wand of cure light wounds is generally an adequate substitute in lieu of a proper healer PC. If it all possible I usually prefer to avoid recruiting additional players; smaller games are often more cohesive and faster since they require less time for everyone to chime in.
Sorry I have been absent on these boards -- I've been extremely busy with the start of classes here. I've been tracking the IC, but haven't checked the OOC board as often as I should have.
Re: Treasure, Elyra picked up a jar of green liquid off one goblin at the end of page 6. The action moved on before I said what she did with it -- Can we assume she pocketed it? (I sure *hope* it's treasure -- I would hate to find out the goblin was, say, carrying a sample to give to his proctologist).
I don't picture Elyra as clergy. If we do without a cleric, though, I may have her take Heal at next level (class skil for Rangers). That can supplement wands, potions, whatever, at least minimally.

A curestick can replace a cleric for healing at low levels. Eventually we'll be needing Lesser Restorations and/or Restorations and Neutralize Poison as well, but we can address that issue when we come to it. Potions or scrolls might work, since those spells aren't generally needed often (but are really important when they are needed).
In summary, replacing cleric with item is viable for now.

Not interested in multiclassing. But Sivan will get lay on hands at level two and Channel energy on level 4. If the update to the final rules set, he will also get mercy on level 3.
CLW wand now, with adding a lesser restoration wand later sounds good to me.

A "curestick" it is, then. I'll NPC Grokk to a retiring point sometime in the near future (his current wounded state is probably a good prompt for retirement) and will supplement with a wand of cure *something (haven't decided quite yet).
Don't be afraid to prompt me in the future should you want more "clerical" aid in the form of particular divine scrolls/potions/wands. Not saying your requests will necessarily always be met with an auto-stamped Yes from me, but I'm certainly open to meeting needs/desires.
