Religion is too good for Clerics.

May 7, 2025

Created as part of Prismatic Wasteland’s Blogclave 2025, in which we all write about clerics during the papal conclave.

I don’t love almost any of the “core four” D&D classes - Fighter/Fighting Man, Rogue/Thief, Cleric, Wizard/Magic-User - if I’m going to be honest. Each of them feels simultaneously too vague and too specific, kind of thrown in there based on an initial reference that quickly became a reference to itself. But if I had to rank them with that caveat, I’d say cleric probably comes out 2nd to last.¹
