I sorted the page out quite a bit, but I don't know the exact details of what clerics got in 2nd ed. - AndyBQ 20:05, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Oddly, there was no mention made of Wisdom anywhere in the entire article. Fixed now. I added some general comments on useful ability scores. perhaps there should be some more detail on Evil Clerics and their varying propensities?

Added a basic multiclassing and party role section.

[edit] Party Role - NPOV

This section is hampered by what appear to be opinions and opinionated language (such as "occupationally useful stat of charisma" and "can easily become the most powerful fighter in the group"), however, this sentence is the biggest offender:

Sadly, because many players find themselves spending more time helping others rather than acting themselves, they receive a bad rap as being the least favorable class to play - rather than arguably the best.

In addition, informal and seemingly anecdotal statements undermine the article's believability. Clerics can be the most powerful member? Prove it. Maybe a reputable source has an article about "Clericzilla". Clerics get stick because they're often considered to just be "healbots"? Prove that, too. There is almost certainly valid sources for a comment like that. Clerics add political and religious weight? I'm afraid you'll need to prove that one, too. --Muna (talk) 21:47, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
