[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 1170521, member: 1656"] No, he doesn't. He says "I cast Bless as a 50' radius burst, centred on me." It affects all allies. Let's say his Mystic Theurge brother had recently cast a Commune. The MT was informed that the cleric was about to be betrayed by a doppelganger. So after a quick Greater Scrying to pinpoint the location, he Teleport-Without-Errors in under a Greater Invisibility... just before the cleric casts Bless. The MT is his brother. He's present for the sole purpose of saving the cleric's life. He is by any definition an ally. But the cleric has no idea he is there. Is he affected by the Bless? Now, there's also a BBEG Mystic Theurge, who [i]also[/i] teleported in earlier that round. He's used assorted spells to make himself look and sound exactly like the cleric's brother, but he's also invisible. The cleric has no idea he's there... but if the cleric [i]did[/i] know he was there, he would think it was his beloved brother, there to save him from the doppelganger. Is the BBEG affected by the Bless? Remember, the cleric doesn't select individual targets; the spell affects all creatures of the specified type ("allies") within the area of the burst. -Hyp.
