I would hate to detract from the cleric, as healing is about the only thing they do early on. ... unless of course, the cleric is expanded a bit with traits from the classes that uses the healing.Z- your'e right about the 2D20, perhaps just a percentage roll 1-100 then.Actually, physical scars and such are quite likely to be present.  If you think abut it, average Joe Farmer will have fingers missing from a forge or plow, scars from when the horse kicked him, horrible acne scars from all the possum he ate.... Any character, especially heros, would have generally done more, trained or worked harder, practiced the sword more, picked one too many locks when he was young, got in over his head in a fight, etc. and deserved a mark or two.We (I) have only once had a physical 'scar' in a character. I have been in battles with DK as DM that should have left scars (like nearly dying three times would) Even escaping tripping that fire trap three times before opening it without damage should have at least burned my hair or something. Those kind of 'flaws' are our responsibility as players.</blockquote>
