[QUOTE="lukelightning, post: 2945030, member: 9745"] Dear Reverend Won't Heal: When first you joined our party we took your reluctance in healing us to be a minor quirk that would not truly prevent you from keeping us alive in our joint endeavor. However it has become quite clear that either your own personal faults or those of your religion are a severe obstacle: You say that it is not your job to heal us because we don't worship your deity, and that we should all rely on our own abilities. Remember that fiendish ogre that was hitting you? Choppy the Fighter killed it before it bashed your head to pulp. You healed yourself...but didn't heal the man who saved your life. Remember that door that was locked? Sneaky MacThief picked the lock [i]and[/i] risked his life by attempting to disarm the trap attached to it. Despite the fact that he was struck by a [i]glyph of warding[/i] you did not heal him. Yet you freely passed through this door, taking benefits of Sneaky's efforts and risk without any effort or risk on your own part. And then there was that [i]wall of fire[/i] spell, remember that? We were fighting the sorcerer and his bugbear minions, and the sorcerer surrounded you with blazing wall that was cooking you. Despite the fact that the wizard was half dead from bugbear arrows, he cast a [i]dispel magic[/i] to free you from the blazing ring. What did you do then? You healed yourself, while the wizard was shot by another volley of arrows and fell bleeding to death on the ground. So, after a brief discussion with my companions, we have decided it is time we parted ways with you. You evidently worship a deity of selfishness and we feel it is foolish to waste our efforts and abilities helping you while you are of no benefit to us. Goodbye and farewell, and if you are ever in the need of a strong arm in combat, a sneaky scout, or arcane assistance, feel free to fornicate yourself in your selfish ear. Signed, Your Ex-Party [/QUOTE]
