By the Book
Straight from the Book:
Sanctuary
Earth 3 - 10 minutes
This spell will remain in effect as long as the subject's hands are clasped above the head and no body damage is taken, or 10 minutes, whichever is shorter.
The recipient is protected against all weapon attacks from undead creatures, including arrows and bolts.
The character with a sanctuary active may not use Game Abilities ) including drinking a potion or using a scroll) but may touch-cast spells on themselves.

I think Barry's confusion is the same as mine on that point. The whole reason you can't touch cast on yourself while in a Bind spell is cause you can't move your arms, so what's the difference since you can't lower your arms and your hands are clasped over your head? I'm not complaining, but I see the argument pretty clearly.

I don't know if it's an arguement... just a broken or inconsistent thing like Jeff said. I mean really, I have actually done the following things with an active sanctuary going-
-1 a fireman's carry with a 150 lbs person
-2 an a over-shoulder roll (2x in a row!)
With a desecrate going-
-1 bear hugged someone and carried them off the field
-2 dozens of rolls / dodges
In at least one instance, I had someone put the vial in my mouth and say chug this... but I had to spit it out and say "actually, you'll have to feed it to me"
The potion one is the oddest one, because it isn't an ingame ability to drink. So it's odd that they put the potion clause in there.
Oh well. There are wierder things in the rules of NERO over the years.

Unless there is a specific addendum to it- It's not against the rules, it says you have to have your arms cross in front of your chest. It doesn't say how far in front of your chest or if you can't hold something to your chest either.Slice said:Is this allowed in the current rules of desecrate? As this would be very handy. Not that I would cast desecrate
Same with the Sanctuary and a fireman's carry. If you are physically large enough to keep your hands clasped over your head while carrying someone on your shoulder you should be good to go. With someone your size, I could actually carry two people if I *really* wanted.
