[QUOTE="zlorf, post: 3609606, member: 7955"] Hi, If a spell has the a target descriptor of "One living Creature" can that include the caster or does it have to have the "You" descriptor as well? I only noticed this after reading "AIMING SPELLS under target" PHB 175 Its interesting when you start looking at the Target descriptor and how varied they are. eg is Freedom (p233) Target: One creature note: so that mean caster or another creature Freedom of Movement (p233) Target: You or creature touched note: so this mean caster or another creature Levitate (p248) Target: You or one willing creature or one object Note: so this mean caster or another creature Find the Path (p230) Target: You or creature touched Note: so this mean caster or another creature Air Walk (p196) Target: Creature touched Note: so this mean caster or another creature, wouldnt want to be left behind right? Enlarge Person Target: One humanoid creature Note: so this mean caster or another creature We play the target creature includes the caster, i dont expect it to be any different. :) In saying that, if the RANGE isnt touch, then can a caster cast a spell that on themselves that has a range ie 25ft + 5ft/2 lvl. Maybe thats the main difference with the examples. Make sense??? :) Cya Zlorf [/QUOTE]
