Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kestrel" data-source="post: 2945478" data-attributes="member: 384">I've played with all types...a war-priest of Corellon who refused to heal, but used his spells for fighting, a neg energy priest of WeeJas that only healed, and with a Greenbond (AU) that was totally specced for only healing.  As long as the player tells the group beforehand his plans, I don't see any issues with it.  That leaves the option for someone else to switch to a healer if they feel that its a need.  If not, they should prepare with wands etc.  3.5 offers a ton of non-cleric healing.That said, Clerics make a poor-man's substitute fighter or wizard.  I mean, if you just want to fight or blast, why don't you just make what you really want to play and say he's a devout worshipper of the god your cleric would have followed?The one group I played with the super dedicated healing greenbond kicked total butt.  We took on things way past our CRs because we had the "traditional" roles filled.  Knowing we had a healer there dedicated to save our lives kept us focused on our specialty instead of hanging on to life round by round with some second stringer using a pathetic CLW wand.  As a side note, the Greenbond very rarely used his Infuse with Life ability, mostly using his spells.  He saved the Infuse with life for the especially dire situations.</blockquote>
