Message: <blockquote data-quote="Darth K'Trava" data-source="post: 2095255" data-attributes="member: 20587">We had a party that DIDN'T have a cleric in because noone really wanted to play one..... Instead, we had a druid and a paladin. Then the group broke up (in-game related stuff) and the players (except for me) came back with new characters, one of which is a cleric/paladin. The one "stickler" was to disallow any chaotic characters due to the DM's gf who played a "super-chaotic" character that not only rubbed the party the wrong way, but the PLAYERS as well... So, we had a totally LG party that meshed well together but now there's been some character shifts (we hinted at one guy that we kinda needed a wizard so he made one).We've not had too much problem getting someone to play the cleric in any game.... there was a discussion about who was going to play what in one game; we were down to the cleric and the ranger... and the other player vehemently said he wouldn't play the cleric so he got to play the ranger.....  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  and I ended up playing the cleric. Then proceeded to make a "battle cleric" who concentrated mostly on kicking ass and healing later, unless the need was dire. The cleric didn't concentrate too much on spellcasting boosts until much higher levels (after I'd taken abt all her feats as combat-related ones...  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> ) Same "doctrine" for rezzing anyone. She never prepped True Rez but would get it the next AM if we needed it. She did carry around a few 5k worth diamonds (3.0 pricing) and the ranger also carried a couple.But for the most part, getting someone to play a cleric hasn't been a hassle and we've never had the need for a "tagalong" NPC cleric to provide the healing. In the cleric-less group, the DM compensated for the lack of major amounts of healing that the druid (primary healer) couldn't provide, nor could the, at the time, spell-less paladin with her lay on hands ability not providing much.</blockquote>
