[QUOTE="bret, post: 14128, member: 713"] I would not allow the cleric to be protected from any damage. I would inflict have of the damage that the fighter would have taken (after any other protections) on the cleric. There are two reasons for this: 1. It would get very complicated figuring damage if you don't do this. 2. You have to avoid stacking defenses against the same attack. You can't give the same protection twice. Consider a fighter with Endure Elements: Fire cast on him and a Cleric that casts Shield Other on the fighter and then Resist Elements: Fire on himself. The fighter gets hit by two fiery bolts from Flame Arrow for 8d6 damage, total of 28 damage. I would subtrace the 5 damage off the top, inflicting 23/2 = 12 damage on the fighter and 11 on the cleric. You can't count both the spells as protection against the same source of damage. Simpler case, both have Endure Fire on them. In this case, you can't have the two spells stack against the same damage source. There can only be total of 5 fire damage that you are protected against. I think that any protection spells would have to be cast on the other person. [/QUOTE]
