[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 8282236, member: 6796468"] It is reasonable to conclude that WotC intended for there to be only one spell available to Spirit Bards where they could use their Spirit Bard class feature to gain 1d6 to healing spell cast with their focus? I really don't think it is. Yeah, it applies damage to the rest of their combat spells with a material component by that logic... but why even mention healing spells at -all- if it's just for Regenerate? Because even if you rule that Resurrection and similar magic is Healing it still wouldn't work with a focus 'cause it has an expensive spell component that must be provided. I'm not even gonna deal with your newest angle of trying to accuse me of strawmanning your argumentum ad populum. Literally the only things you included in your statement was an assumption about me as a person (Ad Hominem) and a comment on the popularity of Rules Videos for D&D. And as to your "Putting the Lie" thing, that's just another attack on me as a person rather than my argument. You are calling me a liar rather than addressing the claim. Mainly because you're ignoring the fact that the claim of no reasonable person and the statement that I'm happy people who enjoy semantics can enjoy their philosophy of language are two separate things. One does not negate the other. Here, I'll connect them just for you: I don't think people who are hanging out in the Semantics Communities of the web arguing whether a Hotdog qualifies as a Taco because it's encased on three sides in a grain product sincerely and reasonably believe that WotC intended for the only healing spell to be affected by the additional d6 was Regenerate. 'Cause even those semantics loving language philosophers would be dissecting the meaning of the words and the ways they could be interpreted, not sincerely espousing the idea that it was only to be used for Regenerate. They'd probably want an errata, too. [/QUOTE]
