I'm coming back to this from another angle...

This is DF, not "Funny Voices Roleplaying"*. What does having a high Will do for a Cleric that is inline with his job on the team, to whit: Healing, Buffing, Niche Utility Spells, 3rd rank fighter†.

Noting how strongly the Barbarian's capacity to go to ST 25 fits his job and the Knight having a x1.5 cap on HP and Scouts capping at Per 25 fit their roles.



* Which is what a friend of mine calls your typical 'roleplaying' fantasy game rather than what DF is, which is closer to 'pointless slaying and looting', aka the 'back to the dungeon' mindset.

† If you think a Cleric's job is different from this, please elaborate!
