a creature armed in this way can make attacks of opportunity, and such a creature doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity when attacking. a spellcaster delivering a touch attack spell all count as armed. Someone holding a charge to an offensive spell is considered armed, and threatens squares he can reach with that charge: Casting another spell also dissipates a charge you hold.Īttempting to touch someone with a charge you hold is an attack, and may be attempted at any time you could otherwise attack (as a standard action, as a single attack in a full-attack, as an attack of opportunity, whatever). The first thing you do successfully touch gets it, or you may choose to let it dissipate harmlessly. The casting of a melee touch-attack spell allows you to try a single attack during the same standard action (so the cleric in your example could have cast the spell and tried his first touch attack in the same round), but if that misses or you decide not to take it, you can just hold on to the charge. The enemy misses again, and the cleric makes another touch attack and hits (so the spell goes off, right?).Īm I understanding this right? I'm pretty sure ranged touch attack spells are gone after they are shot, but with touch attack spells I'm a bit confused. At this point, is the spell still in the cleric's hands? Does the Instantaneous duration of Inflict Light Wounds matter?Īssuming the spell is still there, the fight continues. The cleric makes a standard action touch attack (which does not provoke an AoO) and misses.
Now the enemy moves up to attack and misses. The cleric takes a 5 foot step back, and casts Inflict Light Wounds.
Say a cleric is engaged in melee combat with an enemy. I want to make sure I understand this though, so an example would help me a lot. If you touch anything or anyone while holding a charge, even unintentionally, the spell discharges. You can continue to make touch attacks round after round. According to the rules on touch spells in combat it seems like you just hold the charge if you miss, and then perform touch attacks as standard actions until the spell hits.
