[QUOTE="Psion, post: 2108595, member: 172"] I've always thought clerics had a lot of potential as fun characters because they had a built in philosophy, one which may or may not coincide with the general attitude of the party members. I do agree with the notion that players wanting to march to the beat of their own drum, among the rather large group of roleplayers who prefer to play fantasy versions of themselves vice play a character, is a pretty big factor. Though oddly, the one player of mine who was the most decidedly anti-religious IRL tended to play clerics and paladins more than any other class. Another player of mine who didn't like the cleric didn't like it because he felt that prayer and miracles are not well represented by prepared spells (a notion that I can understand, if not necessarily agree with 100%). Which is fine, but in his own game he let clerics cast any spell spontaneously (which I would never do in my own game, but as I was a beneficiary of this policy in his game, I wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth.)
