[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 5805238, member: 63508"] To me and everyone I know, a class is defined by: what it does best and more importantly what it can do that other classes can't. So clerics were the "healer" until other classes got heals. As the party is created, players/PCs decide what they need for the adventure and if you had something that the party demanded and you were the only one with it, you needed to have as much of it as they wanted. Again, for clerics this was heals and condition removal. In the old days, I was in a lot of "solve the problem now, heal up later," darwinist parties. It meant 1/2 your spell slots of a level with healing spells... were healing spells. 3e freed up your slots unless you were evil. My dark cleric ran 1/3 healing in a wandless game. I have a soft spot for 4e style 2-3 free easy though. I appreciate the ability to negate 1 or 2 screw ups or fits of bad luck, But my preferred style is heal up after battle. This is from a guy who plays healers in MMOs too. But that is because wait time partially. [/QUOTE]
