I could cast Lesser Restoration ("being Jesus") and remove the Stressed condition (actually that isn't a condition but who cares)

I was confused by what you meant by "being Jesus". I'm pretty sure Jesus was a cleric who cast True Resurrection... on himself
bobble
bobble
Well that was only when he was levelled up
When he was just level 3, all he had was Lesser Restoration to perform dime-a-dozen miracles

Can you be a cleric if you are the deity?

Exactly
Hm, only clerics and druids can cast True Resurrection

@PrinceNorthLæraðr @Sciborg please answer this question
Prince North Læraðr
Prince North Læraðr
Okay, the thing is, the Bible says that Jesus's hands and feet still had holes in them, and his side was still pierced after being resurrected. So I'm not sure if he actually cast True Resurrection because True Resurrection closes all mortal wounds and stuff
But it doesn't seem like he suffered any of the "recovery period" shenanigans that comes from regular resurrection
Maybe Jesus was a wizard who cast Wish on himself and the DM (God) was like "Okay, so you do come back to life after 3 days, but while you're on the earth, you still keep the same body"
This is a very interesting theological question
bobble
bobble
can you determine the classes of any other biblical figures?
Prince North Læraðr
Prince North Læraðr
Hm
David was definitely a bard
I mean the dude literally exorcised demons out of King Saul by playing on his harp
bobble
bobble
which College?
Prince North Læraðr
Prince North Læraðr
I think sword or valor or whichever school is melee fighting because David was also a warrior
All the prophets were probably warlocks who sold their soul to God. Actually, pretty sure God buys your soul, but you can't like sell your soul to God

> College of SwordsXGtE
Thematically similar to College of Valor, College of Swords places more emphasis on offense than College of Valor, offering access to Fighting Style and some interesting options with Blade Flourish.

Blade Flourish is the subclass's signature ability, and it's awful. It eats your Bardic Inspiration dice for pitifully weak abilities. If you want similar capabilities, consider a College of Valor Bard with the Martial Adept feat or a few levels of Battlemaster Fighter. This subclass might be viable in games that start at 14th level or above once Master's Flourish comes …

> College of ValorPHB
The martially-minded Bard will prefer the College of Valor. By improving the Bard's ability to wade into melee safely, the Bard can fill nearly every role in a party. If you're in a small party, this is an absolutely fantastic option. However, in a party of 4 or more the Valor Bard's lack of focus will make it hard for the College of Valor Bard to truly shine.
Prince North Læraðr
Prince North Læraðr
Hm, probably sword
David did a lot more like slashing in combat than like singing
Joshua was 100% a fighter. Probably champion sub-class
Ooh, Moses
Hm
I say Moses was a druid. I mean like parting waters, creating staff into snake, bringing plagues - sounds pretty druid-y to me if you ask me
bobble
bobble
I'll buy that

Abraham... not sure if he's the adventurer type to be honest
Can't really label a DnD class for him
I think Elijah was a Light Cleric. He called fire down from heaven once. And also created rain and drought, which is "Control Weather", a 8th level Cleric spell
He also instant-transmissioned to heaven via fire horse chariots, and you kind of have to be a light cleric in order for God to be like "You get to go to heaven with these sick fire-horses"

fire horse chariots are cool
Prince North Læraðr
Prince North Læraðr
@bobble Further proof Moses is a druid: Moses was a shepherd, and God spoke to him via burning bush
Why am I like this

True
I am excited for the campaign tomorrow though
I'm curious to see what our quest would be now that uh we reached Glaevale
I don't know if Lae wants to go to Faerunwind yet. He doesn't want to endanger his friends but knows they'll tag along anyways, and doesn't want them to get hurt
But he really wants to know what happened there
Hm, maybe Jesus was a Divine Soul Sorceror
Can you be a sorceror if you're God?

@Graylocke, care to weigh in on the above?

We're trying to decide what class Jesus was

Ooh o.O;
In PF I would maybe say Oracle?
Because they are kind of like uh... I guess they are to Cleric as Sorcerer is to Wizard?
Prince North Læraðr
Prince North Læraðr
So not cleric :P
Graylocke
Graylocke
Possibly a Life Oracle... I think they get the "pass through an area and heal people around you" type of things... which seems... on point
Cleric is possibly the closest 5e class though
Prince North Læraðr
Prince North Læraðr
But can a deity be a cleric?
(refrains from Christian-theology nerding)
Graylocke
Graylocke
Well ... then we get into weird philosophical debate that is different according to who is talking about it >.>;
During Jesus-as-man time... I mean. Eh. I am not qualified for theological discussions.

Jesus: Life Cleric. Deity: God the Father. (*Special note: Jesus is still God, but like also a human. Go Trinity)
in PSE D&D Chatroom, 2 days ago, by Sciborg
"Forgive me. When in communion with Pan, I forgot myself." They blink again. "I am one, and he is we."
Graylocke

(BTW: the reason I picked Oracle from PF was: These divine vessels are granted power without their choice, selected by providence to wield powers that even they do not fully understand. Which in a way is sort of closer than Cleric because Jesus was following God not according to the religion at the time... I guess... I am wording this very badly)
