<p>Imagin this. 1 guy ran off, 1 guy is paralyzed and prone, 1 other is a -7 and prone, and the boss has maybe 15 hp left. Channeling is not always the answer. </p>

<p>Seriously though, a cleric with 16 strength and defense domain for shield spells, spamming guidance and a compliment of spells would help in a big way. 4 or 5 channels would be plenty when he's bringing +6 to hit for 1d8+4 and an AC of 21 or so to the flanks.</p>Why I hate Oracres as the healer.
