Although some people have their woes about the cleric now.<br /><br />The reasons why I play a psion because I'd like to think that if I lived in the D&D world, I'd be a psion. A shaper. :)Eltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111706553184455710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-7760662401574689042011-05-07T03:01:46.495-05:002011-05-07T03:01:46.495-05:00Personally I love the cleric as a concept, I think...Personally I love the cleric as a concept, I think that they're an important part of D&D iconography.<br /><br />Whta I usually don't like are the rules, plain and simple clerics are the class that can do everything. They're good at fighting, at spellcasting, at diplomacy etc. they really seem to lack a real weak spot, so sometimes the balance of the game suffer a bit from this.Woodclawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06427215237760474498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-82567557799999666392011-05-06T15:03:45.420-05:002011-05-06T15:03:45.420-05:00@Greg.

In the 2nd ed games of my school years, no-one else ever seemed to want to play the cleric. Mostly, I think, because they had all these interesting spells and only rarely ever got to use them. Cure Light Wounds was just to vital to let even an Augury or a Bless appear on the roster.<br /><br />Like you, I fell in love with the turn undead ability. Did you know that in pathfinder, all clerics can chanel energy to harm undead but need to spend a feat to be able to Turn them?Dangerous Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494853825931603065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-25702930364720869102011-05-06T09:41:12.581-05:002011-05-06T09:41:12.581-05:00Have you read Errant, Tim?
