[QUOTE="Mort, post: 8405033, member: 762"] You've moved the goal posts. Your initial post [I] specifically [/I] stated not healing party members unless they serve or otherwise perform service for your deity - this isnt that. But to answer THIS question. Yes, it's probably good form to run this by the group. If for no other reason than so they don't expect healing from your cleric. If you're playing a Cleric that wont heal they party the other players deserve to know. Just like they'd deserve to know that you're playing a pacifist fighter that refuses to hit anything Who decides which deity your cleric worships? If it's you, then the excuse is lacking. If you consciously decide to play a character that only heals the group upon payment? That's different enough from the norm that, yes, it merits discussion. Unless, if course, your group expects it and is fine with it - but that's group specific. So your DM decides on any given day what spells your cleric gets? Or even, you submit stories to your DM and he gives you a curated list back? Because if it's just you telling a player "well, I'd love to heal you, but my god has other ideas..." that's still on you as the player. [/QUOTE]
