[QUOTE="dcollins, post: 2698274, member: 876"] The quote is under the heading of "Touch Attacks". There is an implied touch [i]attack[/i] spell there, by virtue of being in that paragraph (that you've snipped the heading out of for your quote). [i]Cure light wounds[/i] is not an attack spell. It is not a touch attack spell. The rules in the "touch attacks" section do not apply to it. This quote does not apply to it. The second sentence of the glossary "attack" definition does need fixing in light of the Magic Overview chapter. But the first sentence is the important part, and that is in agreement with the Magic Overview chapter. Glossary: "Any of numerous actions intended to harm, disable, or neutralize an opponent". Magic Overview: "All offensive combat actions... All spells that opponents resist with saving throws, that deal damage, or that harm or hamper subjects are attacks." [i]Cure light wounds[/i] doesn't harm or hamper, disable, neutralize, offend, or deal damage. So the two sections agree, it is not an attack. [/QUOTE]
