[QUOTE="BSF, post: 2096333, member: 13098"] OK, I looked it up. The Saint's ability being referenced is the Protective Aura which is a supernatural ability. Free action to create it. It's not a spell. It does not have the [i]light[/i] descriptor. It does not gain any benefit from the Radiance ability. Despite any flavor text, it is not a spell with the [i]light[/i] descriptor. Tell the player to shush. As for thwarting it, anti-magic is the best option. Psionics that bypass it are another option. Barring that, setup the PC in a position where a Saint would act saintly and see if the player biffs it. If he does, then the Saint loses the template. Of course, the player may cry foul, or may not biff the situation. *shrug* The PC needed to earn the template, but having earned it doesn't mean it can't be taken away. Enforce the RP restrictions of the template because the template is unbalanced from the get-go. If there is no RP cost, then the PC has free power-ups. [/QUOTE]
