How many times can a Life Oracle use the healing part of Energy Body in a given round? If you want to check out the Energy Body text, it can be read here.
Also, here is the text from the FAQ in 2013: "Oracle of Life, Energy Body: How many times per round can I use this ability to heal someone? The text says "once per round." Regardless of whether you are passing through an ally's square or an ally is passing through your square, the healing can only occur once per round."
I ask because my reading of the FAQ leads me to believe that in a given round only a single person can benefit from the healing for that round. One of my players who is running a Life Oracle believes the text of the FAQ answer is not clear, and that it could just as easily mean that each individual can only be healed once per round.
So I decided to bring this question to the forums in the hopes that people can give me an idea if I'm in the wrong here. Which of the following do you think it is?
A) The healing can only occur one time total per round.
B) The healing can only occur one time per person per round.
C) You both have it wrong!
"Once per round, if you pass through a living allied creature's square or the ally passes through your square, it heals 1d6 hit points + 1 per oracle level."
It looks like the intent is for only one use per "round". I'm a little more confused about how the one round limit works with allies moving through you. Does that reset at the beginning or end of your turn? Both?
Does anyone think that Option B is a possibility based on your interpretation of the rules and the FAQ section? I want to see if anyone else out there shares this opinion before I make an official ruling of Option A for my game.
It's A. See my response to Aaron Doles thread for further clarification.
