Can you cast Radiant Infusion on yourself?

[Zapp]

You pour invigorating positive energy into a living ally. If the next action you use is to cast heal to restore Hit Points to a single living creature, the target deals an additional 1d6 positive damage with its melee weapons and unarmed attacks until the end of its next turn. If the heal spell is at least 5th level, this damage increases to 2d6, or 3d6 if the spell is at least 8th level.

If you go by the school that says that the initial sentence is just descriptive fluff, the answer is clearly yes, since "single living creature" can be yourself.

If you go by the school that looks at the entire description, the answer is clearly "no", since you're not your own ally.

So which is it? Is there any official comment from the devs either way? Perhaps this isn't the first ability where different parts of the same description contradict each other, and you can point me towards a good precedent to base my judgement on.

That's fine, you are your own ally after all.

Not in 2E, you aren't. Target rules on Page 455 state that explicitly.

Quote:

Some effects target or require an ally, or otherwise refer to an ally. This must be someone on your side, often another PC, but it might be a bystander you are trying to protect. You are not your own ally. If it isn’t clear, the GM decides who counts as an ally or an enemy.

Probably to avoid stuff like Good Champions targetting themselves with their reaction.

About the question, I believe that is the living creature that defines the target, but indeed the parts contradict each other.

Oh, well that sucks then.

Could we discuss the overall intention?

If most/all similar abilities only work on allies, that points to the RAI to be allies only.

If most of them can be cast on yourself too, that suggests the opposite.

And if the situation is unclear, unless you persuade me it is overpowered to allow the feat for your own use, I'm going to be generous and allow it.

Thoughts?
