[QUOTE="Vurt, post: 1049002, member: 1547"] Hmmm... more food for thought, really, than anything else. Can a short-term ally be a long-term enemy? What if, for the time being, that doppleganger actually [i]is an ally![/i]. That is, it's working towards the interests of the caster, and any deception is incidental and not intended to grief the caster in any way. Does the [i]Healing Circle[/i] work? Can a long-term ally be a short-term enemy? The caster and the paladin differ in opinion so strongly on some topic to such a degree that the paladin is strongly motivated to smite the infidel. For the short term, the paladin is clearly not going to help the caster in any way, shape, or form. Does the [i]Healing Circle[/i] work on the paladin? Do the answers to the above questions (whatever they happen to be) raise enough "reasonable doubt" that the use of the ally detector may not really be telling you what you think it's telling you? Cool topic, BTW. Thanks Hypersmurf! -- Vurt [/QUOTE]
