Hi, I have a quick question about Zealous Rush (the 8th level Cleric feat) and the spell Bless.
Zealous Rush's wording says that you "bless yourself on the move," but since Bless is a spell that affects more than yourself since it's an emanation, it doesn't seem to work with Bless going by RAW.
However, it does feel like RAI is that Bless should be able to trigger the feat, given that they chose the word Bless in the description. It also makes sense, thematically and mechanically, with it being an 8th level feat. Otherwise, it only works on the narrow range of self-buffs like Heroism or self-heals.
How would you rule this feat at your table? I'm 50/50 on it myself. Letting Zealous Rush work on aura-like effects seems reasonably powerful for an aura buff build.
