[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 6656820, member: 82106"] Hmmmm, they didn't in the previous edition? I was so pleased when we first played 4e, the players created a human cleric, a half-elf rogue, a dwarf fighter, and a half-elf warlock IIRC. I guess there was an Eladrin Wizard too. Very classic. Yet the Cleric rarely healed, was a STR cleric, and was pretty much a beatdown specialist that would cripplingly debuff each melee opponent one after another, after which the fighter or rogue would chew them up and spit them out. She did get rather classic when it came to undead (being a cleric of light, go figure) but even that level of divergence from the 2e tropes I was used to was pretty refreshing. I hear Hemlock asserting that clerics are extraneous in 5e. Its at variance with my experience, and sounds like it somewhat rests on a tricky bard build (I'm skeptical our DM would pass on that) but I certainly do hope that its at least possible to break that limitation.
