"But ask now the beasts and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air and they shall tell thee.
Or speak to the Earth and it shall teach thee; and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee" -Job 12:7-8

I think the situation is that evil clerics cannot spontaneously cast healing spells, only harmful ones.

Bad Feat King.  Well, it looks like just about everybody in cyberspace who cares has had a chance to express their opinion on what is a bad choice for a feat; 645 votes were cast, to be precise.  The results are very interesting.  Toughness takes the bad feat crown with 33% of the vote, edging out Endurance at 31%.  The race for third and fourth was just as close with Improved Bull Rush edging out Leadership, 15% to 13%.
    Of course, feats have many purposes and what is "good" or "bad" is relative to your playing style and your campaign.  Even Toughness can be pretty useful.  It is a feat that is pretty useful for 1st level wizards and sorcerors, it gives them 75% more h.p. -- just enough to stand up to a bad arrow hit without going negative.  The problem with it is that it does not continue to grow with the character and there are other, sexier feats to choose from.  Also, fighter types would be pretty crazy to waste a feat slot on that when they could concentrate on feats that let them deal out the damage and take enemies out of combat.

Super Powers!  The super powers poll closed, but not before answering the burning question of which superpower is most popular.  If you didn't have a chance to catch the results, here's the executive summary:  Invisibility is top dog with 57% of the vote; Flight and Super Strength tied with 17% each, some few of us liked the idea of being really fast (9%), while nobody thought that being really tough was the best super power
