    There's a nuance you missed. I didn't ask

    can someone explain to me, why the druid of the party is supposed to be better at healing then the cleric

    I asked

    can someone explain to me, why the werewolf of the party is supposed to be better at healing then the cleric of Ilmater ???

    As in, a druid who went with the combat/melee subclass vs the cleric who picked the healing domain.

    Just like, to the question "why is the sword & board fighter better in ranged combat then the archer?" - answering "all character should have some ranged damage. no character is the ranged character" is a very unsattifying answer. it fails to adress the question.

    It is not mutually exclusive to want something - and aknowledging that the way something is "fixed" is horribly wrong.

    I felt super jealous of that spell. I felt totally outclassed in that moment because of just how good that spell was at healing. And here's the thing. He wasn't using the spell right. He treated it as a heal on ONE person per turn
    Quoted, as testament to my point.

    Yes, tabaxi grappler. It's a thing

    RFC1925: With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea.

    Math Rule of thumb: 1/X chance : There's about a 2/3 of it happening at least once in X tries
    Actually, "(e-1)/e for a limit to infinitiy", but, it's a good rule of thumb
