Cheers for the game Caster!
Yep! I had fun.
Yes, thanks! I enjoyed the short format.
*Checks first page*
Yeah 7 months is pretty short for a pbp. I think I'll probably use this short format more often, only occasionally jumping into a long drawn-out game.
I had fun. I hope Fizz wasn't too much.
No I really enjoyed Fizz's RP and he was an interesting demonstration that in-combat healing can be viable if you really go for it.
It is curious to me most people's aversion to in-combat healing. Why is it such a ridiculous idea?
I had a blast! It was great playing with you guys
I do think in-combat healing is a poor choice for a lot of casters and a less fun way to play that caster. But a life oracle is a different beast all-together.

I had this whole conversation planned out in my head for if Fizz ever asked Kaalul why he wouldn't call him by his name.
K: I'be told you before, Gnome, I haven't managed to grasp your difficult gnomish dialect.
F: Come on, it's not that hard! Repeat after me: 'Fizz'
K: Fizz

Priceless! Yes the RP was really good for a short adventure. Well done, folks.
Caster's position on healing is similar to my own. In the time it takes a normal healer to heal a few hit points, that action could have buffed the party, or taken out an enemy, or changed the battlefield.
However...
Oracle of Life is really another beast entirely. And Fizz was both highly effective at healing and damn good fun to read!
As for the short format, I enjoyed it, would happily do again. I'm even starting to glance at the recruitment threads again lately.
I can understand that standpoint. But I would counter with, is not healing just another form of buffing? When looking at the contribution of a buffer you consider the additional damage as well as hits they have caused. Is not a healer responsible for every attack that the healed makes after they've taken X amount of damage?
I would also bring up the opportunity for a difference in playstyle as well. Some people aren't interested in combat. Playing a healer allows for contribution without needing to delve deeply into the mechanics of combat.
All discussion aside, it was quite enjoyable. If any of y'all start another one of these I hope to be kept in mind. Though, that said, if you do give me a holler, I do prefer to be informed of the preferred power level.
