[QUOTE="Orius, post: 1654307, member: 8863"] I generally agree. One must also take into account that typically such spells much be paid for, though I would say paying for clerical magic really is more a matter of emptying out the PC's pockets than anything else. I would say that relatively larger villages are probably served by a low-level cleric, maybe no higher than 3rd or 4th level. So if a peasant gets hurt, that cleric might use a [i]cure minor/light/moderate wounds[/i] to heal the peasant, and probably for free, provided the peasant shows up for services on a regular basis. It's all a matter of caring for the flock. However, he doesn't have access to [i]cure disease[/i], so the peasants will be subject to illness as normally expected. Now in a larger city, you might have a few clerics that minister to the poor, like soup kitchens, priests how have inner city ministries, Mother Teresa, etc. But most of the people will find they have to pay hard coin for healing magic. I think stockpiles of [i]cure disease[/i] or [i]cure * wounds[/i] wands might be around, but they're for emergencies. I only see the churches breaking out the wands during a major epidemic, or war or invasion, where a lot of people are going to need help at once. [/QUOTE]
