The game gives you so many healing potions, it’s hardly worth casting even that. Healing word is actually worth casting though, both in this game and in tabletop. Picking up downed allies at range as a bonus action is very good.
Ah, I gotcha. I don’t think I’ve played a 5E game where the cleric is a healer. Oddly enough the Paladin is more of a healer since Lay on Hands is “free” (aka not a spell slot).
Probably because, especially at lower levels, it’s a “wasted” action and spell slot. Enemy hits for 5 damage, you heal 5 health.
I figured it’d be the opposite since potions are so much stronger in bg3. The ability to throw potions makes anyone a bit of a healer, multiattack even lets you throw two. Plus, being able to use one as a bonus action let’s people take care of themselves a bit better.
It also helps that the default cleric (Shadowheart) isn’t life so someone would have to specifically roll one.
Nah, meant moreso that clerics would be relegated to healbots versus the divine fury they can deliver
Life Domain is pretty good because you can get the healing spells for free then be more flexible.
Prayer of healing is the only healing spell worth casting and its out of combat spell

You can reroll companions. Shadowheart has been Life since like lvl 6 for me. The change, if you do it later in ger story, also makes sense for her.
Ooooooh I should do that!
I’ve never player D&D and Shadowheart seemed to really not doing much on the healing side.
Never thought it was linked to a choice/subclass nor to reroll her.
I know what I’ll do this evening, thanks!
