Or in this case palidens... I doubt anyone said to you "Why did you smite that enemy" or "Why did you lay hands to remove that disease" my understanding was you had the ability to heal, and had not used the resource yet, and the resouces was needed to heal... that is not at all what you are now saying...  well if another PC is in over there head and need help, and the fighter has a resource he has not used yet that can help... yes he should be using that resource....yea, no one suggested any of that... prep your spells as you see fit, but when you prep or have the ability to swap out for healing, and you choose not to, then you have chosen that YOUR rescourses are more important then the rest of the team... there is no I in team, if you can help your teammate out and refuse, or insist on additional compensation, then why can't they turn around and do the same? well if the only person with healing is refuseing to use the healing they have, maybe it's just better to replace that team member... cause even if the replacement isn't a healer they didn't loose healing... Clerics aren't special snow flakes that get exceptions in my games (both as a PC and GM) if they insiste there resources are not for team use, they should expect that others will quickly decide there resources and skills are also not for team use...</blockquote>
