[QUOTE="helium3, post: 2622585, member: 31301"] Yes. Congratulations! YOU WIN!!! I apologize for not having any prize to offer you other than my capitulation. The primary issue here, and why people keep arguing with you about this stupid spell, is that the "by RAW" version of Chill Touch (which I agree is as you describe) functions utterly unlike the way that I believe most D&D players who know of the spell think it does. I'd be willing to make a gentleman's bet that if you made a poll and provided two possible descriptions of how Chill Touch worked, one version being the one I provided earlier and the other being your "by RAW" version, the vast majority would select my option rather than yours. As I'm sure you can see, a "by RAW" parsing of the rules does not always result in how a particular game mechanic is generally percieved to operate. Luckily for us, this is a pretty rare occurance, as otherwise the 3.5 rule-set wouldn't be worth the paper it's printed upon. So, unless you want to talk about how the "RAW" might be modified to allow Chill Touch to operate simultaneously "by RAW" and in the way that most people understand it to work, my part in this debate is concluded.
