Conjure Flame self-target bug?

As a Ds with flame-cloud immunity one is still not aloud to self-target with Conjure Flame. Is this just an oversight?

'That would be overly suicidal.' Immune.

You cant conjure flame on top of things, this includes yourself.

Re: Conjure Flame self-target bug?

Then the '...overly suicidal' message is confusing, and should just give the same message as when attempting to place on a creature.

You always gonna get a message when targeting yourself with hazardous effects, be youself immune to it or not.

The message is bad even for normal characters. Conjuring flame on top of yourself is not that suicidal unless you are low on HP.

If it was permitted, it would be exactly as dangerous as casting it to your left and then moving left twice.

Yea "overly suicidal" really means pointless self damage. I believe you also get it when targeting yourself with bolts and single-target spells...and ranged weapons, etc.
