[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 3877189, member: 9037"] I don't understand either. With holding healing makes no sense if you are on the same team. Even if that PC does not believe in your god you are still working towards common goals. The only exception I can see is if the PC has done something to really upset the cleric for example we had a prisoner and we had guaranteed him his life if he told us what we want to know. The cleric swore on his god that the NPC would not be harmed. The NPC was honest with us. That night one of the party members snuck the guy out of camp and freed him telling him to go when the guy started to leave the pC attacked him. His plan was to say the guy died while trying to escape. Unkown to the PC this guy who he thought was just a bard was a monk as well so he was able to defend himself. He brought the PC down to -3 and then callled for help. The cleric stablized the guy but after hearing the truth he refused to heal him further and told him that he would not be healing him again. In the end the pC left the party because even the player realized he had put the cleric in a bad situation. I thinking normally refusing healing just leads to bad feelings all around. I also think the opposite is true as well. The cleric should not have to be a walking band aid he should be allowed to do other things in combat and the party should not get pissy if he uses spell slots up on other spells. The solution is simple get healing wands, potions and scrolls to help out. [/QUOTE]
