Oh really? I guess I had Clerics all wrong...I thought they were pure healbots! There's a few playable races that would work well for a Cleric so that class is back on the table.
I was initially thinking bard because there's been a few times this campaign when someone has said "if only we had a bard in the party" but I think I've been hesitant because it's such a common beginner class, though it's obviously for a reason
If your party needs a heal bot, they need better tactics (which isn't a slight -- tactics are hard), and a non-magical healer to use battle medicine.
But no, Cleric's whole gimmick is extra dedicated heal slots so they can use their regular spell slots to do other fun things. They can be very flexible, and we're hoping for a significant expansion of the Divine spell list in the fall with War of the Immortals coming out.
Look into a battle cleric in particular. They're very versatile.
I just meant I wasn't considering Clerics before this because I thought they only healed. If this campaign is any indication of the group tactics, we definitely don't need a healbot.
I will check out battle cleric!
