i get the gentle healer trope completely like i understand the appeal fo a character who drains themself for the sake of others of a character who is self sacrificing to the nth degree who dedicates their life to saving people, often at their own expense.

but also clerics are fucking crazy man especially clerics of death and the grave and stuff. i love clerics who cause more damage than they heal who can't touch without harming clerics whose blood runs necrotic and whose gods gifts are acid and poison and violence - not even evil clerics. people who are sworn to the dark and distasteful aspects of service, who perform their tasks with filthy hands, bloodstained faith.

people who are so devoted to their god they take on the things no one else is willing to do, who sacrifice their own innocence and their own peace in the name of faith.

#i think clerics is crayzy is the thing i think that kind of religious devotion is soooo fun and has so much potential #you are a priest!! you are so devout your god loves you in particular and the way that is expressed is through necrosis and rot #and your hands are black and stained and people look to you for healing you can't provide #i think bg3 is a letdown for clerics bc a) the game Expects you to take shadowheart with you everywhere so playing the class is less....fun #and 2) it doesn't give you the cool domains:( except for light and tempest my beloveds but. idk i feel like clerics got shafted a little #i'll probably have more thoguhts on this later idk
