I'm suessing you made all the healer lists work as touch, rather than self?
I dunno, the cleric as is often gets modified into priests of various sorts with a tweak here and a tweak there.
As is, they almost always end up base + Healing closed then a smattering of other stuff at higher levels. . .their core lists seem to imply: Warrior of the light, who kicks demonic and undead arse for the lord. Discriminating area attack spells like holy shout are crazy. . .it's like a bomb that only effects opponants. . .nice when in that temple with the horde of angry cultists about to mob/overrun the party.
Basicly, I find them great roleplaying characters, who are on the weak side in most endevors acting as the healer, except when the opponant are cultists, demons, undead or anything else in the "Evil" / "Of darkness" category, then they step up and do their thang. . .and do it well.
I recall a mild mannered 15th level cleric, usually back of the party stepping up when the mission turned out to be all about undead. At the meal break, someone said "You eat your wheaties this morning or something?" and the player of the cleric replied "Undead blasting is my business, and business is good.". You turn a cleric out against foes succeptable to all their anti-enemy spells, and they are one of the most potent professions.
