[QUOTE="Brace Cormaeril, post: 5742104, member: 45956"] I understand the perspectives here; however, I am likely to rule, by RAW that "Ray Deflection" does NOT protect against an arrow fired by an archer under the effect of "Find the Gap". 'Including', used in the spell description as a transitive verb, takes the meaning, "constituent, component, or subordinate part of a larger whole,". So, by RAW, in my view, we have, "For the duration of the spell, you are protected against ranged touch attacks,[I] including[/I] ray spells and ray attacks." Protection? What is [I]protection[/I] in this case? "Any ray attack directed against you is automatically reflected away." The part of the spell description which actually indicates what protection is granted. 'Including' here then is the subset, or subordinate part of the whole "ranged touch attacks" described as "ray spells and ray attacks". [/QUOTE]
