[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 6830641, member: 6775031"] Not for the cleric, but hurling balls of fire has kind of been one of the main druid schticks for as long as they've been around. I never got a chance to play one in back in the day, but looking at their spell list, it has a [I]lot[/I] of fire and lightning spells. (The major tradeoff was that they had terrible armor, compared to the cleric. They were a [I]lot[/I] like a red mage class, aside from the nature theme and random shapeshifting.) And, unlike wizards (who were fire-and-forget), the druid blast spells tended to stick around for the druid to keep manipulating every round - from Produce Flame and Flaming Sphere on the low end, up to Call Lightning and Lightning Storm on the high end. Which isn't to say that they had a ton of spells and could do magic all day long (although bonus spells from high Wisdom helped), but when they [I]did[/I] cast a spell it fit pretty well into this paradigm.
