[QUOTE="Apok, post: 616985, member: 1969"] As powerful as the Clerical class is, I still have trouble getting players to play 'em. Take away any of that power and you will literally have to revert to begging someone to be the cleric. The biggest problem is the fact that most people think "walking band-aid" when they think of clerics, and this is not far from the truth. Sure, Clerics can buff themselves into melee powerhouses but what happens when your down to the bottom of the barrel on spells and your comerades are looking for some healing? "Uhhh.. gee, guys, I really would like to heal you and all but, uh, I kinda used all my spells on myself to fight the BBEG and, uh, well... Hey, c'mon guys, put the swords down! Let's talk! Really! I promise I wont do it again! AAAAAAAHHH!" The primary purpouse of a Cleric is to heal, and if they aren't doing it (for whatever reason), then why hasn't the party booted 'em out yet? "Oh, so you're a cleric of a mighty War God, eh? You can kick butt with the best of 'em, eh? Okay, can you heal? No? It's not in your God's editcs to heal people? Okay, thanks for your time. Next! Hmmm... God of Death and Destruction, huh? Okay, so you're good at killing things, what's your policy on healing magic? You don't use it? Against your God's edicts. Okay, thankyou. Next!" [/QUOTE]
