[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 5909738, member: 813"] The beta forums complained about the cleric harshly. We constantly asked "what is the Appendix N original of "this" or "that"?" Goodman decided to stick with the cleric hoping the faith requirements would help. The gods are harsh in default DCC and using your clerical magic on a non-believer can result in the cleric being smited if you play it by the book. But the class really shouldn't exist. He should have just put healing spells in the wizard spell list and made the downside of using those spells harsh. Wizards are already scary to play by RAW so I doubt they would submit to being healing-bots considering the downsides to a mis-cast spell. I suspect Goodman wanted the game to look like BD&D and 4 human classes and 3 demi-human classes and he couldn't get away from the cleric as a class. It's somewhat weird since he insisted he was not making a retrocone. He wanted DCCRPG to be a retro inspired game. [/QUOTE]
