[QUOTE="Telas, post: 2695634, member: 20934"] No, you're not. You're reaching down in a square occupied by an opponent to touch something; roughly the same action as if you were picking something up. The spell was cast outside of combat. No, that's an attack, with a chance of failure. By that basis, standing over the body of the cleric's friend has no benefit to the defender; I could keep him from getting healed just as easily from an adjacent square, and it would require a Readied Action. Because normally, you're not as exposed as you would be if his body were under your opponent's feet. :) Hopefully, you'll get some cover from your friend... ;) The Ogre analogy breaks down at some point because of his reach, and the attack analogy breaks down because a heal spell isn't a weapon. You don't get AoO'd with a touch attack into an opponent's square because he doesn't want you to touch him. Like I said, there will be different opinions on this, since you can start covering the grey area from different starting points. I can respect your approach to this situation, but I know what I'd do in my game. Telas [/QUOTE]
