Being a healer in any setting is the most Metal profession ever. You go to the border of any country in the middle-east and ask a paramedic what he does, I can guarantee that you'll gag (from vomit you sickos!).
>Stitching flesh and holding full grown men down while they cry and scream "DON'T CUT MY LEG OFF MAN!" is par for the job. >Seeing maimed children is a daily routine for them. >In some places a paramedic is so swamped that he literally must decide who lives and who dies.
"Heal-sluts" don't exist on the battlefield , Healers are the Ballsiest motherfuckers out there and we should depict them as such.

Healing spells take a lot of grittiness out of being a medic. Also, because we're even more flooded with /v/irgin neverplayers than we are with /pol/ shills, and they don't understand the difference between MMOs and PnP

>"Heal-sluts" don't exist on the battlefield That much is true, but once you get back to the camp, you gotta ease the medic out of those traumatic moments they just went through. It's basically less gay version of Rescue Me - the more stressful the job, the wilder the decompression.

You could have the same rant over fighting characters. Relax it's fiction.

Pure healers are easily bullied because healing magic is not an offensive power that can be used to hold somebody off or overcome them. So if you're trying to set up a dom/sub scenario, healers make obvious subs. They aren't weapons experts and can't fireball you.

Plus they can keep healing themselves after sessions.

Sure irl healsluts aren't memes. But behind a screen or at a table, healers are effeminate sluts who want to be dominated.

How much of the people posting in these kind of threads are the kind of people who have never picked up a D&D rulebook and are completely ignorant of 3.X CoDzilla, 4e minor action heals, 5e bonus action heals, the fact that basically every cleric is decked out in literally metal armor, etc.?
When has there ever been an MMO style healer in D&D? Like, the Miniatures Handbook healer? Even the 4e pacifist still had to attack...
Christian Lewis
>When has there ever been an MMO style healer in D&D? I wouldn't really define clerics as healers, at least not in the primary occupational sense. They obviously have healing magic, but when you say somebody is a healer, you generally mean that that is what they're about, not merely that they have some skills or abilities in the area.
Nathan Nguyen
Because magic makes healing a lot easier. You don't have to cut off someone's leg if you just use magic to make it good again.
That explains all the hipsters calling popular things/things they don't like reddit
