Razorstorm 04-29-07, 02:02 PM	Somebody was saying that there is a clarification of the Share Spells ability for Companions and Familiars. Somethign about they can share some spell effects, but not others? Anyone know about this? I looked in the PHB errata, and the FAQ, but found nothing. Can an animal companion share the benefit of a healing spell the druid casts on himself? A Bull's strength? Do you basically have to ride the companion to not violate the 5ft rule when the two of you make a move in combat? Just trying to clarify. Razorstorm

The clarification can be found in the Rules of the Game article "Familiars (Part 2)" (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20050913a). The gist of it is you can't double up on healing spells (but you can decide which "healing points" go to whom) and you can't double up on stat boosting spells. By RAW and by this article, you can only share spells with the entry "Target: You", so no sharing Antimagic Fields and whatnot. The other stuff seem to be additional rulings that's not RAW, but seem very sensible.
