[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 2109687, member: 463"] I don't really understand why Clerics and Healing are so inextricably linked in the minds of the game designers. I let Wizards & Sorcs Heal IMC, if anything it makes Clerics more fun to play since it takes a bit of pressure off them - and when MonsterMash's Cleric Cambyses gets downed for the nth time at least Loren the Wizard is there to Cure Light him again. :) - Maybe this infringes on the Cleric's role, but it both aids party survivability and reduces the Wiz's blasting-power since he' spending slots on cure light (I agree how it's funy how Clerics are given lots of power to _compensate_ for being able to heal!). As a player I pretty well always play Fighters, Fighters are cool (IMO), even though in 3.0 Clerics were far far stronger, and even in 3.5 a Cleric with good STR CON & WIS is still ahead of a Fighter with good STR CON & DEX.
