Rectum? It damn near killed 'im.
And wotmaniac, I was refering to your 'empowered heal to BBEG' note that PlzBreak quoted. And related, you may be able to get that extra d4 of heal onto Heal, but not from RSoP. I feel confident about my memory on their abilities, since the camp I'm in features a RSoP.
Wall o' text:
[spoiler]I know how the class works, and simply
mis-spoke when trying to demonstrate my point. I realize this,
and thought that I had corrected myself. Let me do so again -- I realize that the free MM that a RSoP gets only applies to 7 of the 9 domain spells from the Healing Domain (with
heal and
mass heal being the 2 exceptions).
I also know how useful these can be for more than healing (i.e., undead) -- seeing as how my particular group sees a BUTT-LOAD of undead-centered games, perhaps we are able to experience a bit more mileage out of this class than most other groups (hence my inclusion of "YMMV").
I also thought that I articulated that I'm over any sort of debate on the subject, as I really don't care enough to keep going on this.
I was also under the impression that I had indicated that I wasn't trying to start a debate -- I was simply chiming in with my 2-cents (and didn't really expect any change back). I have listed the reasons that I like the class, and am pretty much done with it. I never said that anyone needed to agree with me. If there is some unwritten rule about having to have a major debate over every single post, then someone needs to fill me in.
---- quick question -- how many people have to storm me over the same mistake before we get to move on? never mind that I corrected myself after the first one. ----
I have also long ago admitted that YMMV -- to each their own. No 2 people's experiences are exactly the same, and different groups and different games have different results. I get everybody's point -- I really do get it.
So, one more time, let me reiterate my understanding of the base assumptions:
-- "overrated" is a relative term, that is only relevant when comparing actual results with the related "hype"
-- I have not really seen all that much "hype" in relation to RSoP -- I have only seen that it is respected as being solid (and for what should be obvious reasons).
--
by what I have seen, then by definition, RSoP is not overrated. However, I also have already said that if someone wants to call RSoP a ZOMGWTFBBQ, then yes, it would be severely overrated (which, evidently, some of you
have seen this).

So, can we please move on now?
