Current Cleric --> Godless Cleric --> Wizard with Healing Spells
Heh, just suggesting that wizards should be able to cast really crappy healing spells starts a small riot.

If you want to be the guy who is at the whim of the gods, you can allow Wizards to nominally get their power from gods if they want. There's just no reason for this to change how they prepare and cast spells, however.
Enworld boards are similiar, but not quite as bad.
Oberoni at [unixtime wrote:1084110189[/unixtime]]Do people really play in games where the clerics are the bitches of their gods?
Any game I play in, the gods serve as background and occasionally story hook. They don't really force a PC cleric to do much of anything.
RandomCasualty at [unixtime wrote:1084134511[/unixtime]]Yeah, that's exactly how every game I've played works out. It's never actually the god asking you to do something. Occasionally a high priest or something will give you a quest, but that's about it.
The temple is no different an organization from something like a mage's or thieves guild.
Frankly, I think the Cleric and Wizard SHOULD be rolled together, the "No Arcane Healing" rule is just retarded anyway.
In fact, no game in the RPGA is allowed to star unless someone has at least one cleric in the party.

Like you said, healing has to be done, no matter what ultimatly meaninless descriptor we put in front of the title. What would it take for healing to be worthwhile at all, and what would it take for healing to be worthwhile in combat?
