Resting+binding, picking your battles wisely, and stealth are the order of the day at my table.Jesse Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13737072478903535244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886547051691715141.post-777528963957068382010-07-02T19:52:18.252-07:002010-07-02T19:52:18.252-07:00Ever since I gone into my Sword & Sorcery phas...Ever since I gone into my Sword & Sorcery phase, the Cleric class was the first to go! I use Magic-users as prists, but for the most part, clergy is more of a background hook. Without the healing spells, and to maintain that pulp style, I allow the PCs to recover [2, +level, +/- Con Adj.; min 1] HPs after each battle if treatment is applied, and 1/2 of the PCs total HP after full bed-rest. Its a bit lenient, but I like to keep the adventures going.Malcadonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03111796978336546944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886547051691715141.post-13387492822991225102010-07-02T18:04:38.060-07:002010-07-02T18:04:38.060-07:00James at the Underdark blog made some very awesome...James at the Underdark blog made some very awesome cleric npc's - no small feat!B.

They're uniquely D&D.<br /><br />I love inspiration, but I've always drawn the line at emulation. <br /><br />D&D is rightfully its own thing, IMHO.Will Mistrettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403399118961902073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886547051691715141.post-71479428219402849772010-07-01T16:39:16.430-07:002010-07-01T16:39:16.430-07:00I have always kind of hated the necessity of havin...I have always kind of hated the necessity of having a cleric in the party anyway and was trying to think of some ways to get around it in my next sandbox game. I've come to hate the entire idea of having to design a party for game balance purposes, like some MMO raiding party because I'd rather just be free to play whatever I want.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02061065184847980217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886547051691715141.post-55900829327422719592010-07-01T16:37:41.045-07:002010-07-01T16:37:41.045-07:00I've been using the 1d4 "bind wounds"...I've been using the 1d4 "bind wounds" since the earliest days. I like that it helps low level dudes (who need all the help they can get), but by around 5th level or so it's a drop in the bucket and not that much help.Kevin Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14122665488285424578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886547051691715141.post-91496627613528275542010-07-01T16:14:14.824-07:002010-07-01T16:14:14.824-07:00I haven't missed the absence of clerics in my ...I haven't missed the absence of clerics in my game either. I folded a bunch of the cleric spells into the MU list (even the healing ones) but I may have to try this "first aid & rest" option instead of the standard healing spells... <br /><br />I allow Lawful characters with a blessed holy symbol to turn undead at two levels below that of the NPC priest who gave the blessing, making the cleric PC all the more redundant. <br /><br />Glad to hear the "no clerics" rule is working well for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
