[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7544447, member: 2525"] My first reply to it still stands up pretty well in my opinion. "In terms of looking at it from a meta rules perspective as opposed to an in-game perspective, yes absolutely it's in the category of "heals" and also "regenerates short rest based abilities"." People were never claiming it directly healed or that it should benefit from a life cleric ability which boosts direct healing. They were always saying the spell fits in the niche of healing when it comes to types of powers found in this game (in addition to fitting in other niches of rules, like regenerating short rest abilities, and providing upward movement abilities). Similarly, temporary hit point granting spells fit in the niche of healing in this game, even though they also are not directly healing nor do they benefit from the life cleric's healing boost. It was shorthand for the different meta roles the spell fills. However you'd word that, I think it was always obvious that's what people meant when they said it "healed" and I think if you had worded it more aimed to incorporate how you knew people were using those statements, a lot of angst would have been prevented. Like, "Does Rope Trick serve a healing role?" probably would have worked better than "Does Rope Trick Heal" given what you knew about the positions you were disputing. [/QUOTE]
