[QUOTE="Kelleris, post: 1619064, member: 19130"] I see you've never had a player really exploit the cleric, then. The cleric player in my game has a strict policy that nobody above one-quarter hp gets any healing from her... Yeah, she's real popular. Anyway, a cleric that doesn't restrict themselves to healing can be quite the powerhouse. Heavy armor plus some of the best buffs in the game ([I]righteous might, divine power, divine favor[/I]) at a wizard's spell progression make for one mean melee guy at middle to high levels. And the elven cleric archer build is still one of the most munchy in the game. A personal favorite is an NPC cleric using the death and destruction domains with the [I]inflict wounds [/I] spells. Add in Improved Unarmed Strike (or better yet, a monk level, if it fits the character), Power Attack, and Extra Smiting and it gets unpleasant. Only a few hits like that a day, but they're pretty nasty, especially since they increased the bonus smites from Extra Smiting to two. So, yeah. Clerics are powerful. [/QUOTE]
