We had 3....Don't forget non-hit-point healing! We had 3.5 group that was going on fine. We had a druid using the alternate shapeshifter rules and he had healing spells so we think we're doing fine. Get a couple of levels under our belt and a bad guy casts blindness on another PC. Failed save, permanently blind. No problem we'll just pause and heve the druid cast cure blindness tomorrow. Check the spell lists and whoops, druids can't do this. <br /><br />A favored soul couldn't do it either, unless they had taken that as one of their spells. Even if they do, what happens when it's a curse? poison? attribute damage? level drain? Unless you choose the right spells or your DM builds the bad guys around your capabilities you can't cover everything. Same argument goes for wands/scrolls/potions.<br /><br />Therefore you need a cleric in 3.x. I still like it, and I like Pathfinder as well. But this part is a problem.<br /><br />P.S. our good characters ended up breaking into the home of a neutral cleric and threatening him into helping us. A low moment for our team.

The xp cost is either negligible or a benefit, because if you want to craft stuff then hanging a level below the party is the way to go.<br /><br />God, I hated 3e, but I played a lot of it for a few years.
