Duskblade arcane channeling: melee touch or any touch?

The ability says you can channel any touch spell you know through a melee attack.

Does that include ranged touch spells? My first reading was that it doesn't, but the duskblade has quite a few of these on his list, and they seem a lot less attractive if they can't be used with arcane channeling...

Unfortunately no for ranged touch spells. Says so on page 16 of the FAQ.

One way around this is to create a feat that has arcane channeling as a pre-req and maybe a BAB minimum and or caster level minimum? When you take the feat you can then deliver ranged touch attacks thru the weapon.

If you are mult-classed though, you can channel any melee touch spell from the other classes with this ability.

Thanks,
Rich

Edit: sorry had the wrong faq page number initially.
