Hi there,
Curious about how to interpret the number of undead targets a mass cure spell (other than mass heal, which seems to be unlimited) can do damage to. Are the undead who take damage in addition to, or instead of, "targets" of the spell? The text just says it does damage to undead within the area of effect.
So if I'm level 15, can I only heal 8 allies and do damage to 7 undead (so long as they are within the area of effect), or can I heal 15 allies and do damage to 15 undead? Is there a limit to the number of undead effected? Thanks!
School conjuration (healing); Level bard 5, cleric 5, druid 6
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target one creature/level, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw Will half (harmless) or Will half; see text; Spell Resistance yes (harmless) or yes; see text
You channel positive energy to cure 1d8 points of damage + 1 point per caster level (maximum +25) on each selected creature. Like other cure spells, mass cure light wounds deals damage to undead in its area rather than curing them. Each affected undead may attempt a Will save for half damage.
It says "rather than cure them", which strongly indicates that 15 targets total, not 15 living and some number of undead.
Also the Targets line of the spell description would be inaccurate.

That's my take on it as well. For some reason, I was having difficulty explaining it to someone else. Thanks!
So the consensus here is "Pick 15 targets- if they're living, heal them, and if they're undead harm them," yes?

I believe that is correct, yes.
