Clerics aren't boring. Period. Anyone who claims otherwise is wrong. Clerics are amongst the most varied of vlssses. The problem is people are stuck in the 'cleric= healer' mindset. That is is.
Dwarves are awesome. Dwarves are cool. The fact that Dwarves are in the bottom third if races innbg3 speaks to larian's racism against them. They gaslit their players:( Too bad sunce they handled Dwarves pretty good IN DOS2.
Lol. I guess I'm wrong because I think Clerics are boring.
Dwarves are cool but it's annoying that a half-elf can tank better than a shield dwarf in most instances. (Light Armor + Shield > Medium Armor for Sorcerer or Wizard and Shield > Medium Armor for most lightly armored classes) Darkvision turns out to be irrelevant once you have a camp wizard who casts Darkvision on anyone who needs it (along with Longstrider on everyone). So Shield Dwarves really don't get much relative to other races than a slow speed. Human Sorcerer or Wizard (other than Draconic) is better than a Shield Dwarf Wizard or Sorcerer because Light Armor is adequate and Shield is OP (at least for those classes, which I present by way of example). A Shield Dwarf in a heavily armored class is worse than a human, who at least gets an extra proficiency and is faster. So, yes, they are cool, but they kinda suck mechanically. Gold Dwarf at least gets more hp but hp haven't been a huge problem for my Fighter, though a little more speed is sometimes desirable.
