Target: Creature Touched - Can this be cast on self?

[Bridger]

Lots of spells have the target "creature touched," can these be cast on my own character? or can spells only be cast on you if they say "you" in the target?

[Ironicdisaster]

Yes, you can target yourself.

[Starglim]

You are a creature. You can reach yourself.

[Traken]

What if you can't reach yourself? Say your body is completely immobile; can you use a touch spell on yourself just by casting it?

In a similar vein, can you use parts of your body other than your hands to discharge touch spells?

[Geistlinger]

I am shocked and appalled. Such opportunity for a touching yourself joke, and no-one took it.

If you can't move you cant use somatic components. So unless its verbal only (or using still spell feat) you can't cast it.

If it is verbal only (or still spell) then you wouldn't need to actually move to target yourself.

Mechanically speaking anyway.

Yes, you can touching yourself (all night long) with that spell.

Was the first thing i thought of. I opened this thread just to see if it had been done.

Yes, you can... well... touch youself magically.

You may want to keep the details to yourself, though.

Some people say there's a curse in using spells that way, hairy hands being a known side effect.

Don't worry though, be your own target at will.

Have fun!

And blindness, don't forget blindness!
