Hey lovely people!! How does one play a good cleric? I think i already got my air genasi voice ready but i'm not sure how to play a life domain cleric. Any tips?

It depends what you mean by "how to play".

I'm sure a lot of people will tell you the best way to apply the rules for a "build" for your character.

If you are asking about personality, then the tables presented in the chosen background for your character will give hints that could help direct your actions.

There’s no one answer, no “right” way per se. Not to sound un-helpful, but the right way is the way you have fun doing it. The one thing to watch for is that your fun doesn’t make someone else not have fun. As long as you don’t find yourself saying “but that’s what my character would do” you are probably on the right track.

One thing is healing during combat is not efficient unless you are picking someone up from unconscious. So if the fighter in the party is only about half way through their HP, don’t bother healing them, use your spells for something else.
