Touch Spell Requirements
- 1. The spell's range is listed as Touch
Casting a Touch Spell
- 1. Casting of Touch spells is different than Expending them
- 2. Expending a touch spell may be done versus an unfriendly target or a friendly one. Against a friendly one, success is automatic. However, expending a touch spell on an unfriendly target requires one of the two:
- a. Attack roll versus the target's touch AC if "touching" them, or
- b. Attack roll versus the target's normal AC if punching them with an unarmed strike or natural weapon (however, if you do not have IUS, you provoke an AoO)
- 3. You can cast a touch spell and then "hold the charge" indefinitely. However,
- a. The spell is immediately expended upon your first successful attack, or
- b. ...if you brush up against something
- The main benefit of holding the charge is to be able to cast and then move up to a target.
- 4. Normally, casting and Expending a touch spell is the same as the spell's action; that is, if the spell is a standard action, then casting and expending (touching the target) is also a standard action.
- a. Generally, willing targets must be within 30' of one another (or the spell will give a specific distance) so that the caster may reach them within a reasonable time period.
