Unfortunately, the touch spell rules contain the following fatal clause ( PFRPG Core Rulebook pg. 213, “Range” ): Some touch spells allow you to touch multiple targets. You can touch up to 6 willing targets as part of the casting, but all targets of the spell must be touched in the same round that you finish casting the spell.
How does a touch spell work in RuneScape?
You can make touch attacks round after round until the spell is discharged. If you cast another spell, the touch spell dissipates. Most touch spells discharge after a single successful attack, but chill touch makes it clear that this isn’t the case. Instead, you get one touch per level.
Do you have to hold a spell when it is readied?
Yes. When you ready a spell, you cast it as normal but hold its energy, which you release with your reaction when the trigger occurs. To be readied, a spell must have a casting time of 1 action, and holding onto the spell’s magic requires concentration (explained in chapter 10).
How does a tenth level touch spell work?
A tenth-level caster who happens to have six willing targets (for chill touch, mind) would be allowed to affect them all as part of casting. But if he has seven willing targets, he still would only be able to affect six targets because that’s the most he can affect in one round and he’s not allowed to use his extra uses of chill touch next round.
Can a touch attack provoke an attack of opportunity?
Touch Attacks Touching an opponent with a touch spell is considered to be an armed attack and therefore does not provoke attacks of opportunity. However, the act of casting a spell does provoke an attack of opportunity. Touch attacks come in two types: melee touch attacks and ranged touch attacks.
Can a character make more than one attack per round?
A character who can make more than one attack per round must use the full attack action in order to get more than one attack. If you shoot or throw a ranged weapon at a target engaged in melee with a friendly character, you take a -4 penalty on your attack roll.
Can you use chill touch in multiple rounds?
So the quoted rule allows chill touch to be used across multiple rounds; there’s no need for the spell to explicitly state it. (Though it probably should, just for clarity.)
How many creatures can you touch with chill touch?
If the spell allows you to touch targets over multiple rounds, touching 6 creatures is a full-round action. The problem is that a lot of spells include effects that simply don’t work under the rules above. Chill touch is the classic example ( PFRPG Core Rulebook pg. 255 ):
