Saves, Superstition and Willing Targets


Rules Questions

Sczarni

So my barbarian just took Superstition. When he rages, he cannot be the willing target of a spell and must a saving throw to resist all spells. I have two questions.

1) When targeted by a Cure Light, how does making a save affect him? Does he get healed for half like a reverse inflict? Or does it just no affect him?

2) Same question as above, but with Channel Energy. Does he make a save to resist that?


1) I believe that the character would be healed for half, should the save succeed:

2)

Creatures that take damage from channeled energy receive a Will save to halve the damage.

RAW, there is no way to save for half healing, only a save to halve damage, so the character would be fully healed.

Sovereign Court

Also, superstition mentions you cannot be a willing target for spells, and Channel is a supernatural ability. It's a bit cheesy, but the language is clear.
