That's their main goal, yes. But they're also great attackers, defenders, and all around good in all areas.
They're nothing special, though. Healers(the actual class) is better. Paladins are more useful in battle outside of some healing, and get better weapons.
They're a neat class, but are kind of low weight overall. Just popular because they're great support.
Quest 64 threadThat's why it's banned, but that has nothing to do with me since I don't go out of my way to play broken stuff anyway.
I don't power game.
Quest 64 threadAnd here's a trope page for our radio campaign. If you want more of our craziness, tune in Fridays... Saturdays... Well, at the midnight between them for the adventures of the K-Team!
...and that's terrible.Battle-Clerics ate fun as hell. What, you thought you were going to hurt the guy swinging a mace at you? Hah!
On that note, while playing a Cleric, not allowed to torture people or monsters within inches of their lives only to heal them and do it again.
On an unrelated subject, not allowed to play an expy of Karn from Magic The Gathering, Esoecially if it becomes nigh-unkillable.
Mura: -flips the bird to veterinary science with one hand and Euclidean geometry with the other-- I may not build a mini-castle onto a cart and then Animate it so my party can drive around in a tank.
- I will not hurt my DM's mind by asking how a Klein Bottle Of Holding would work.
- Me: "Bags Of Holding are bigger on the inside than the outside right?"
- DM: "Yeah?"
- Me: "So how would a Klein Bottle of holding work?"
- DM: "..."
- Me: "'Cause a Klein Bottle only HAS an inside so-"
- DM: "Gahgrk!"
In Legend, I may not combine Legendary abilities to install a ley line (and related permanent spell) onto my flying city.
Mura: -flips the bird to veterinary science with one hand and Euclidean geometry with the other-- When the girl sitting next to me gets grabbed by a frog monster's tongue, I will not make dirty jokes.
- Especially when her brother is right across the table.
- Making dirty jokes about him will not diffuse the tension.
(Actually, she made the hentai joke first and he only had a problem with any of it after the last part, so it's more like "If everyone's laughing, I should not stretch out the joke until they're not.")
Add me on Skype: Al Cook (darnpenguin)- I am no longer allowed to set my own hands on fire as a monk in order to Falcon Punch an ice elemental.
- That causes me to take damage.
- Due to...you know, having hands ON FIRE.
- Even if "mental lemon-lentil elementals" existed, they wouldn't be summoned by saying their name three times.
There's a Magic: The Gathering card to be made there. Something along the lines of "if you can say the name of this card without stumbling, it goes into play."
"You may cast this creature without paying its mana cost if you can correctly pronounce its name. "
Mura: -flips the bird to veterinary science with one hand and Euclidean geometry with the other-1. My ranger cannot have "elf" as favored enemy.
2. Elves do not have "Form of Madness" and I do not have to avert my eyes or make a saving throw when one is nearby.
3. Jumping rope with a defeated foe's intestines is not "in character" for a Lawful Neutral Knight Templar character.
4. Telling me to stop team-killing is not "just a suggestion".
5. I cannot determine the value of a gem by eating it.
Somehow you know that the time is right.One that I'm definitely going to be banned from as soon as I can get a group:
Not allowed to paint the warforged paladin blue and refer to him as a "Super Smiting Robot".
If it involves momentum, no longer allowed to do it.
This was implemented after I invented the "flying guillotine kick" based on my GURPS character's astronomical jumping abilities. Logically, if he can leap most of a mile in one second...
Smile for me!"Pornographer" is not a prestige class in any rule book, and even if it is, not allowed to play it.
Somehow you know that the time is right.Try pornomancy.
- I shouldn't suddenly give the minions crossbows when I panic and make the bandit leader attack the party.
- Especially when the party tank is out for this session.
- Targeting the AOE casters first is rubbing salt into the wounds.
- Especially when the party tank is out for this session.
@Dorku:
I think Mega Man is more of a Warlock. Or some kind of caster who learns new spells by defeating other wizards.
...and that's terrible.My Warforged shall not utter the words "I'm a super fighting robot and I'm here to super fight!" when asked what he's doing in the castle.
"Being Chaotic Neutral" does not equate to "being allowed to use leetspeak".
Somehow you know that the time is right....Unless you're playing a D&D/Shadowrun hybrid.
Monkeys do not get +2 on thrown weapon rolls with their own poop.
...and that's terrible.D&D is not Nethack, I am not a tourist, and I do not have a credit card.
Somehow you know that the time is right.
Aren't clerics the healing class, though?
