Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ahnehnois" data-source="post: 3876010" data-attributes="member: 17106">A while back I had a cleric who served the deity of vengence, took damaging spells, and was basically a blaster who occasionally healed the party after the battle was over if he was in a good mood. Worked fine.OTOH, in my most current game I had a different player take up a cleric of the local sun god, take the Healing domain, and totally devote himself to healing people and charity and such. He's fairly crappy in combat (except against undead, which there have been plenty of), but he doesn't mind being the medic at all.I think spontaneous divine casting (UA) really helps clerics define their roles and makes them far more enjoyable to play. If you want to play one thing and the party is always asking you to heal them it's a pain, but that problem can be avoided if you basically declare how good of a healer you are during spell selection and decide to take other spells.</blockquote>
