[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 1399849, member: 4134"] And what about fighters? Rogues? IMO in D&D everyone should have a chance against everyone else (when they're on the same level). This is not rock-scissors-paper. We don't play Cleric-Wizard-Fighter. Not really. I open the Cleric spell list and see lots of good spells for a pacifist cleric. You did say that people become clerics now to be better warriors. You're right, that was a bit harsh. Sorry. Was a bit wound up. But fact is, there are dozens of ways to make a character of any class unique. This is especially true for the four "base base classes" - fighter, rogue, wizard, cleric, but works well for the other classes, too. And it isn't just an opinion because I have seen such characters. I've seen a couple of wizards, and they were vastly different. I've seen fighters with completely different fighting styles. I've seen rogues fill a myriad of roles (most of them were my own character - I love the rogue), and seen clerics that you wouldn't associate with the same class if you didn't see it written on the sheet. I'm not really saying that your creativity sucks. I just suspect you aren't trying too hard. Just take a look at the cleric spell list, at the skills and feats that could help such a character, and at the PrC's out there, and you'll see that you can create perfectly good pacifists in 3e. And combat clerics, and caster clerics, and archer clerics, and necromancer clerics..... [/QUOTE]
