[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7531232, member: 6919838"] The cloak would go the the target who is the worst off based on two factors (all else equal): Who is getting **hit by** the most attacks (not targeted by, hit by)? Who is worse off at dealing with the damage they are taking (lower HP, no quick self-healing, no damage reductionetc)? If those are the same character, its an obvious winner. if those point to different characters it will be a eyeballs judgement call to see who is helped the most. A high Ac fighter with lots of Hp and bonus action action surge would likely not ever be the choice for that cloak - since he is already getting missed a lot, has a lot of HP and has a bonus action heal for when the few attacks that hit him start to add up. again, the choice is made to reduce the damage we take by the largest amount, not to create the "greatest one character percentage change." if instead of the mage taking taking 100 it will help them take only 50 that is better than reducing the damage one character takes from 10 to 2 even tho that is an 80% reduction and the former a 50%. But, hey, the beauty of this is - i do not have to convince you. I am really just speaking to others and i pretty much feel i have made my points as well as i can. So, you have the floor. i am done with this particular back and forth with these two posts. [/QUOTE]
