This came up last night in our game... the group's magus picked up contagious flame and was rarin' to try it out on some ghoul mooks.
The spell says that it jumps from creature to creature, so when one of the ghouls ended up dead from it, we weren't sure if the ray would still be jumping.
A dead creature is an object, no? That's what I ruled, that it was no longer a valid target, but would the rays still be active for the duration, or did I make the right choice?
Thank you for any help!
I'd rule the same way, the fire launches from each 'creature who took damage'. A corpse isn't a creature, so it doesn't qualify as a launch point.
Thanks! I wanted to be certain for my player, he was bummed out to lose one of the rays during the spell, heh. Guess it is the trade off of killing something with it!
