This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

i agree with you J, on the perception of the cleric.  my reference is primarily to my group which doesn't know/care about d&d anymore.  their experience is limited to ad&d 1 clerics, in those days before domains, feats, etc.  IIRC we only used the cleric in those days for healing or the occasional offense at higher levels (flame strike, for example).  the thought of using spell slots for buffs didn't have as much bang for the buck, so to speak.

And the bonded mount could easily fit into one of the Fighter talents by just removing a little of the celestial flavoring  (although the idea of non-magical special mounts might be a little too cowboy for some D&D people).  Lay on hands would also fit just fine into a list of clerical talents.
