[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3883054, member: 22779"] Please do not make any assumptions about my game, and I'll return the favour. Thanks. If I have given that impression, I'm sorry. I was simply answering the question. The part that makes the cleric unfun is what I've been focusing on. That doesn't mean that the cleric is 100% unfun all the time. I never meant to give that impression. The roles have been defined numerous times. I'm not pulling this out of my vas deferens here. DMG2, PHB2, Dragon magazine, endless posts on various boards talk about exactly this. Classes have roles and always have. Now, you can do things outside of those roles, of course. Again, I never said that you couldn't. Why are those assumptions being made? Is it not because the mechanics only allow the cleric to heal and, without healing, you cannot adventure in most cases? Again, please stop with the passive/aggressive attacks on other people's games. It does not make your point stronger. It has nothing to do with narrow minded DM's and everything to do with the fact that the game requires healing in some form. Funnily enough, cleric is my favourite class to play. I've played clerics in every edition. Love them. But, I don't love them because of the healing thing. I love them despite it. But, funnily enough, every cleric I've every played has cast healing spells far, far more often than any other spell. Why is that? [/QUOTE]
