Can you play D&D games without a healer in party?
What kind of fucking question is this?
Why would you want to do that?
>>342947465
what card game is this
yes but expect to rest alot
>>342947465
WHAT DID SHE MEAN BY THIS?
>>342947780
her back hurts because her tits are to big.
>cum dump, the class
>>342947889
most healers are bros,women can't take the bantz
>>342947889
>>342947465
Yes, in D&D4 (a.k.a. every class is the fucking same with renamed abilities) everyone has generic healing spells.
>>342948103
Setting aside how very wrong you are, here's no D&D 4e video game and it's not the most recent version of D&D, so how is that even close to relevant?
>>342948103
>every class has the same abilities
Lolno
>>342947465
sauce?
>Video game cleric
>Helpless wimpy healer
>DnD cleric
>Literally Goku

Queen's Blade. It is indeed a card game.
>>342947842
that's not how it works
>>342948257
There's a mmo... that developers tucked up and eventually died. Neverwinter was great..
has ecchi gone to shit?
i remember having a really good time watching Qwaser, Queens blade (until they replaced the girls with other girls), Manyuu Hikenchou and highschool of the dead.
most current stuff seems shit.
>>342948940
Valkyrie Drive was good.
>>342948257
Honestly it's dissapointing. I only played a few sessions when it first came out but my impression was 'wow, this would be much better suited for a pc game than pnp'
>>342948905
If you're talking about DDO, that did not use 4e.
>>342947465
Are you talking about vidya or tabletop? If vidya, probably depends on game. If you mean tabletop:
1) make a thread on /tg/, not here
2) despends on edition and DM
3) usually no
>>342948679
>vidya druid
>angry hippie
>dnd druid
>godzilla with an army of magic sentient deinonychus
>>342949180
I agree. Even if that anon is full of the usual bullshit about 4e it is the edition of D&D that would have been best for a video game adaptation. Too bad the lead programmer for the online version did a murder suicide.
>>342949298
What vidya other than direct D&D games even has druids?

yeah but those niggas can't even wear armor that ain't natural lmao
>>342948089
>slow down
>not cracking the whip and having the tank chain pull everything
>>342950169
>needing armor when you could be a fucking dragon
>>342947465
Usually no. In the most recent edition, they've drastically changed health/ damage healing because people didn't enjoy playing clerics.

HOW COULD I FORGET
>>342949639
Oh, that's true. WoW classes are closely lifted from D&D (Mage has magic missle even) but that counts.
>>342948657
You need to be 18 to post here. Come on, how someone can't know about Queen's Blade in this era?
>>342950169
They can have higher AC (armor score) than fighters while being able to cast spells.
Druids and Clerics were engines of destruction simply because they were fighters and wizards combined, and the only class that could keep up with them were wizards because of metamagic feats.
>>342949414
Diablo and Dota, blizzard seems to like that sort of thing
>>342947465
You could but it'd be difficult without a dedicated healer. Most spellcasters can learn cure wounds and other classes have some sort of self healing though, so you can scrape by until you get a chance to do a short/long rest.
>>342949298
What a shame, I love druids that arent just magical wise hippies
>>342947465
Yes, the healer in Planescape: Torment is quite optional. She's a good character though so many bring her along.
With enough Potions you can do it in Baldur's gate 2 as well, although it is expensive. Once you get to summoning Planatears though you can safely dump any clerics because Angels are so much better.
Are there healers in modern D&D? I know there was a healer class in 3.5, but are the healers just clerics again?
An important thing to understand is that Skills are no longer the basis of virtually all checks, they're just a sort of modifier to the overarching Ability Checks. Sure, in 3.5 you would sometimes make a pure Strength check, but now Athletics is always considered a Strength check with your proficiency bonus added for Athletics training. The significant thing here is that while there are only 18 "skills," you can have proficiency in other things like tools - even specific games and instruments are basically their own niche skills, which handily represent professions as well. The format of Wisdom (Survival) follows for, say, Intelligence (Navigator's Tools), or Dexterity (Thieves Tools) - which is not a slight of hand check or anything, just a theives tools check. The other thing this format does is allow your DM to ask for, say, an Intelligence (Diplomacy) check if the situation is all about making a reasonable argument.
All skills are listed on page 174 "Using Ability Scores." All tools are listed on 154. It also wouldn't be hard for the DM to add other proficiencies in the same vein as these tools.
The main way you gain tool proficiencies is your Background, which the DM is encouraged to let you customize by swapping like-for-like and such (though skills are typically worth more than tool proficiencies).
Rogues and Bards are supposed to be super good at skills, what with getting 4 proficiencies from class and 2 expertise skills at level 1.
>>342949414
Bard's Tale has them as an enemy type.
>>342950543
>Most spellcasters can learn cure wounds
What? No they can't. And most classes do not get any healing besides hit dice healing at rest.
That said healing potions and short rests are usually enough.
>>342950690
Modern D&D uses most of the same core classes as 3.x. You get a pool of dice to roll for healing during short rests, which are restored at a long rest, so the idea of a dedicated healer is mostly obsolete (not that it was ever really useful). In my party we have a guy who took one level of cleric and he barely ever bothers healing beyond the Save The Dying cantrip (at will stabilize someone below zero)
>>342950830
Bard, Cleric, Druid, Pally, Ranger can learn cure wounds. That's still more than half.
>>342951046
There's nothing wrong with a dedicated healer, really. I think it can be good for roleplay if you want a character who doesn't fight or has useful skills for out of combat situations
>>342950205
>contemporary retail wow
>implying you should be playing a game that lets you get away with that
>>342951157
Fair enough. I don't really count the "half casters" like Ranger and Paladin when I think of casters but I suppose they are.
>>342951192
In 5e it's be pretty hard to do dedicated healing because people can heal themselves so well and you only need to prepare one healing spell. You'd have to be pretty dumb not to sling around buff spells and stuff as well.
>Playing ToEE for the first time
>Dedicate a cleric to healing
>get absolutely fucked over late game
>Start new file
>No healers, just make a battle cleric
>Game becomes 10x easier
>>342950427
Thankfully we left all that fucking garbage behind and 5e is much more balanced.
>>342951660
Why the fuck you thought a heal focused cleric was a good idea is beyond me....
Battle clerics is always the best option
>They are right in the middle of battle and able to heal touch the tank or infantry line at a moments notice.
>Enemies can't swarm your cleric and because there are fighters in his vicinity, npc don't like getting hit with attack-of-opportunity.
>Clerics have so many good attack and stat boosting buffs.
Cure light wound wands and scrolls exist for a fucking reason.
>>342950169
make armor from ironbark or dragonhide. Fuck, just wear leaves, most of your AC is coming from the enchantments, buff spells, and shapeshifting anyway
>>342949414
Heroes of might and magic
>>342950364
>affair
Dumb broad.
>>342952072
I was like 12 when the game came out. My newbie D&D books told me to always have a healer.
Once I learned about special domain spells and buffs I realized theyre better for battle
>>342952072
>dex based battle cleric with a rapier/dex based weapon
>>342951192
Also dedicated healers make for the best interrogators because you can keep torturing people far beyond what they should be able to survive
>>342952398
>leather armor
>high dex
>shield
>as much if not more AC than a fighter at first level
I did this with a ranger once, but I'm sure you could pull it off with a cleric too.
>>342951943
How do I play it?
