[QUOTE="allenw, post: 1420272, member: 12992"] [b]Contingent Spells: what does "affects your person" mean?[/b] I was just about to start a Contingency thread, but why duplicate effort? :) My question, which may also be of interest to the original poster and the Sorcerer in question: Contingency (text quoted below) is range "Personal," target "You," and the Contingent spell "must be one that affects your person." Does this mean: A: It only works on spells that target a single individual, such as Shield or Invisibility; B: It works on any spell for which the caster is a valid target, but even if the spell could ordinarilly target multiple targets (i.e., Haste(3.5), Teleport) it only targets the caster; C: It works on any spell for which the caster is a valid target, and if the spell could ordinarilly target multiple targets (e.g., Haste(3.5), Teleport), the caster gets to decide who (if anyone) is targetted at the moment of activation D: It works on any spell that could affect the caster, even if the caster isn't technically a "target" (e.g., Fireball), with area and effect spells "ground-zeroing" on the caster; E: Other.
