I was just wondering if there was any hidden advantage to use virtue over cure minor wounds. Cure is permanent and can save someone who is dying whilst virtue's only advantage is to give 1 hp above the max (because once wounds have appeared, cure is better). Why would a cleric memorize virtue?

Personally, by the time I'm mid-level I just memorize 3 Read Magics and 3 Detect Magics that will invariably be used for 1 point of healing at the end of the day, but I like having those two spells just in case.

Oh well...
