[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6108578, member: 7006"] No... the group should already know at the beginning of the campaign that despite the rules saying a cleric CAN cast Cure Wounds at 25 feet... you are choosing (due to roleplaying decisions) to only cast at Touch range. If later on a fellow player gets p.o.d because they found themselves in an untenable position and you were unable to get to them to heal them (despite knowing full well that they needed to be within range for you to get to them to touch them)... then THAT GUY is being a dickwad. He should have known going in to the game how you were playing the character. He can't bitch about it later on and not be the jerk. But you know what? In NO WAY should the game put rules into place for no other reason than to just [I]save[/I] players or DMs from "looking like a jerk". That's ridiculous. Put rules into place because they make sense for the game, the situation, and to allow as many players as many usable and useful options possible without going overboard. NOT because we need to baby players and DMs who are afraid to "say no!" [/QUOTE]
