[QUOTE="cougent, post: 3882107, member: 48665"] You have consistently reflected the same very narrow viewpoint in several posts, I just pulled the one quote that was the most narrow. I get it, your games are structured and disciplined and everybody better play their assigned roles, or else. Fine for you, just not for me. Hey the devil is in the... minutia PART being the key word here, your other postings have very much indicated that to be ALL, not part. You keep reasserting your opinions as facts, which they are not. Others have stated that they have played without Clerics. While others have stated that they have played Clerics NOT as healer bots. Yet you keep coming back to your narrow defined fixation of roles (now for everyone , not just Clerics) and insisting that this is the way it must be. I know this is the Internet and there is a strong desire to "win" the argument (that I did not want to even have) but just try to understand that not everyone is seeing the game through your particular rose colored glasses. Run your game as you and your players see fit, it just sounds boring to me. Mine would undoubtedly sound <something> to you too. So be it. And the real answer is: 1) Assumptions made by other non-cleric players put pressure on the cleric player to conform to narrow minded perceptions of the class. This is unfun 2) Cleric players who balk at these assumptions often run into narrow minded DM's who then impose them upon the cleric player under the guise of ROLES. This is even more unfun I know, it's so simple, why don't you get it? Take away the preconceived notions and it is quite fun to play a cleric. Shackle ANY class with a "you must do this all the time" role and it becomes unfun. It's RPG, not RG. [/QUOTE]
