[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 4600355, member: 11821"] And for my next trick... [b][I]infinite oregano![/I][/b] Seriously, there's several problems with this, not the least of which is how insane your DM would have to be to treat you as your own enemy. What you call "clear" I call "a generous reading." Implications of this interpretation include... (1) Rangers and Warlocks can't ever curse anyone, since they're limited to the "nearest enemy." (2) Burst spells that target "only enemies" will also target you - meaning you could get blasted by your Force Orb, while your allies get off scot free. (Also, for that matter, Swordmages using Greenflame Blade always damage themselves, too.) I would find it hard to argue that either of these interpretations are intended. Even if you make this incredible argument, temporary HPs are [I]not healing[/I]. They are just temporary HPs. If you check the rules on temporary HPs, you'll see that an unconscious or dying creature with temporary HPs is still unconscious or dying - they just have some temporary HPs along with it. -O [/QUOTE]
