[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 1319005, member: 2629"] Folks - You're trying to look at the small scale. Open up to the bigger picture. Snapping off one aspect of an encounter and trying to analyze it reagarding bless or bane is like trying to grade a term paper after reading one word in it. You must look at the total situation to make a ruling. You need to know about the various goals that the caster is presently working towards. I shot off some 'easy' answers to your earlier questions. I should have refused to answer until you fully described the situation. And I do mean fully. By giving me as much information as we would have if we sat down and played in the game. Full history. Full understanding of the character. Etc ... Try this: In your next session, in the second round of a combat, during the cleric's turn (or another character if there is no cleric), ask yourself this: Who (within the range of bless) is actively helping one of the cleric's goals to be reached? It is very easy to answer. Very. If you can't figure out how to use my advice, I'm sorry I failed to make it clear enough. It is too bad, because I've used this system for a LONG time. It has NEVER failed to grant a clear answer. If you stop trying to look for cracks and give it an honest try, you'll see that it is really easy and very effective. [/QUOTE]
