Message: <blockquote data-quote="(Psi)SeveredHead" data-source="post: 2943515" data-attributes="member: 1165">I've seen a cleric try to do that - specifically, he tried to wait until after combat to cast spells so he could do more in combat. The player was not experienced and often wasted combat actions in combat, so no wonder they were frustrated. Plus, he couldn't remember advice in the "heat" of combat, even when we later added another cleric PC whose player was much more experienced. Naturally his stinginess didn't work; bad luck alone ensured that sometimes a character would need healing during combat.Oh yeah, you can remind the cleric PC that, if he doesn't heal you, you won't rescue him if things turn bad in combat. A party uses team effort all the time, and there's no "I" in team.I've twice had neutral clerics who channeled negative energy. The second time I told the player to take a feat from Sean K Reynolds' site enablling him to channel negative and positive energy for purposes of casting cure/inflict spells. Still, the character was a multi-classed rogue, so decent healing was never available.</blockquote>
