Hm, was under the mistaken impression that clerics could use heavy armour. I guess that's either a 3.5 rule or else I just misremembered.Either way, I really hate the whole "only know a few spells but cast them a lot" style that Oracles have, so I won't be touching that class with a ten foot pole.

They are the sorcerers of the divine casters.

It was in 3.5 clerics could wear heavy armor. Basically fighters trading feats for spells and following specific rules.
