[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 8910109, member: 7025282"] What I would say is it’s situation dependent. I would dump every spell I have into healing if it was party life or death. And in 1e, that was all the time. In 5e I find it’s not often that is required. And that people go into some fights less than full is ok with me. I just don’t want to play the role of gas pump for hit points where people are brash and expect me to do that all the time. Hit die are often sufficient. If I took life cleric I dunno. It sort of signals intent. But I just would not take a war cleric or tempest cleric (or my creepy arcana cleric) with the expectation of always doing that. With arcana and spell breaker….well it’s like this: I will heal but not be a healbot. I will healnto save lives but not to just make careless play more comfortable. I would prefer to blight a creature before it hurts the party vs. let it run rampant and heal up after. [/QUOTE]
