Spell Range Personal Question (dev feedback please)


Rules Questions


If a spell's range is touch, like "creature touched" and you cast the spell on yourself, for that instance of the spell could that spell's range be considered "Personal"?
I ask because of Ring of Continuation.
There are not alot of spells with a 10/min per caster level duration (which is required for Ring of Continuation by the errata), so this magic item seems nearly useless if you can only use it with Spells that say in their description range personal.
But let's say you cast Heroism on yourself...it's duration is 10/min per caster level, could you use Ring of Continuation with that?
In it's description it says range touch, but for that instance of the spell could it be considered range personal?

Nope, "touch" is not "personal", so by RAW you can't do it. That said, the post-errata item is extremely limited so you might be able to convince your GM to rule otherwise anyways.

Every spell lists a range. If it's not "personal", then it's not personal.

No developer feedback is needed here, this is clear cut.

Just because you are touching yourself, doesn't mean it's personal.
