[QUOTE="Pax, post: 1682729, member: 6875"] [sarcasm] oh, eek. someone save me. eek. help.[/sarcasm] Uh, [i]no[/i]. I've said - repeatedly - [i]it could go either way[/i], and insisted on therefor examining it in light of [b]game balance[/b]. No - just pointing out to you,that if AD can limit SH, then the Wizard Class Spell List can limit AD. Because the SH feat [b]specifically[/b] states that the character is able to spontaneously convert prepared spells to [i]cure wounds[/i] spells, a number of times per day equal to the character's wisdom modifier. No mention is made of any limitations as regards domain slots, domains, the AD feat, etc. [i]Only[/i] the spontaneous conversion to [i]cure wounds[/i] is described. There is [b]nothing[/b] in the rules which [b]explicitly[/b] ascribes precedence or superiority to [b]either[/b] feat's limits and abilities. And SH states you can spontaneously convert X number of prepared spells to equivalent-level [i]cure[/i] spells [b]exactly as a cleric does[/b]. And clerics aren't restricted to doing so once per spell level per day. Okay, give me the exact book and page number, along with a quote, that says anything even remotely [b]close[/b] to "the limitations of [i]Arcane Disciple[/i] limit your ability to spontaneously conver spells with the [i]Spontaneous Healer[/i] feat". Because it's all there [b]is[/b] to argue about, beyond IMC's and IMO's. Even in the absolute and utter [b]lack[/b] of text which states what you purport to be the rules? Even when the examples disprove your claims,and prove the claims of those who hold the stance opposite you? Now, [b]that's[/b] comedy. More accurately, "deciding what you want it to say, and then mis-reading it however you need to 'make' it say exactly that". There is [b]nothing written[/b] that says AH's limitations are effective on the abilities of SH - wether or not those limits are in fact so effective is purely a matter of [b]personal opinion[/b] - leaving only the balance or imbalance of the combination as a basis for judging wether or not it "should" be permitted - which I have (repeatedly, now) pointed out to you in clear and unmistakable terms. And I've also, using yourown numbers, shown you that it is NOT, in fact, an unbalanced option to permit to a character who wanted to pick up both feats. No, there wasn't. You've never given an example of where the text says [i]Arcane Disciple[/i] in any way limits [i]Spontaneous Heler[/i]. Liar. [b]I[/b] was not the person who insisted the MT would take PS twice. Once, sure, quite probably. Twice, no, nowhere near as likely. [b]You[/b] brought the Practised Spellcaster into the mix, not me. And again, I nevr [i]presupposed[/i] the cleric "side" of the Theurge would be so boosted, at all. [b]You[/b] did. Leave the gratuitous insults out, I guarantee you I can sling better than pitiful attempts like that. But thoswe 2 feats are not "take anythign you want", they are "item creation, metamagic, or spell mastery". Thus they're not worth [b]quite[/b] as much as a "pick any featyou qualify for" option would be. Those who [b]forget[/b] the past, are doomed to repeat it. And it especially rankles when you accuse me of a wrongdoing of some sort, when you had only just a post or two ago [i]done the same thing, to a higher degree[/i]. Deal with it. How eloquent. No, it most certainly was [b]not[/b], you insufferable suppurating [i]pustule[/i] of imbecility! For [b]god's[/b] sake, man, can't you even remember what [b]you've[/b] said? Irrelevant, he still cannot cast more spells of a given level than he [b]has[/b], wether it'sspontaneous or not! SH doesn't give you extra spells per day, it lets you [i]exchange[/i] existing prepared spells for a spontaneous casting of an equal-level [i]cure[/i] spell. Let's get this straight. You have [b]TWO[/b] fourth-level spells. A 16 Intelligence is not high enough for a bonus 4th level spell. Thus, if you prepare and cast one healing spell of 4th level, [i]you no longer have the slots available to spontaneously cast two more[/i]. RTFM, get a clue, etc, etc. All right, [b]one[/b] fireball (or comparable), which is still less than the Theurge's [b]two[/b] third-level spells. The rest of your drivel, frankly, simply isn't worth my time. It's quite rare that I find myself tempted to report a post; you're owed some congratulations. I suppose. [/QUOTE]
