[QUOTE="Bendris Noulg, post: 1286658, member: 6398"] Not really. As a Cleric trained in healing (even if he's decided not to make it his forte), he (the character) should be able to look at the other character and make an educated assumption of the character's condition. Asking about Hit Points is simply the Player-to-Player way that this assessment is made. As an aside, the way I handle this at my table is by degrees: 90% or higher is "Good", 75% is "Fine", 50% is "Sore", 25% is "Low", and less than 25% is "Hurt". Stating the actual value is not allowed. The problem here isn't his hypocracy (although he is being a hypocrite to a degree... Was the spellcaster(s) in that party "healers"?), it's his failure to remain impartial and allow the Players to make their own choices. Kinda ironic, eh? No. What they've done is look at his class (Cleric) and thus delegated him to a pre-determined role in the group based on their own ideas of what a Cleric should be within a party. These desires may not at all coincide with the desires of the Player and it is entirely unfair of the others to push this on him. I must ask, though, how this Player has been previously with other characters? Are they all like this, or does this one just happen to be this way and no one is liking it? [/QUOTE]
