[QUOTE="Camarath, post: 2618364, member: 11987"] To Chill Touch it is irrelevant but not to the issue on if you may touch more that one target as part of casting a spell. It is the following rule that explicitly allows you to touch multiple targets when using Chill Touch. You will note this rule makes no mention of willing targets. PHB p176 "Some touch spells allow you to touch multiple targets as part of the spell. You can’t hold the charge of such a spell; you must touch all targets of the spell in the same round that you finish casting the spell.". The "You can touch one friend as a standard action or up to six friends as a full-round action." only applies when you are Holding the Charge of a Touch Spell. It does not apply if you "discharge the spell in the round when you cast the spell". As many as are specified in the text or Target line of the spell in the case of Chill Touch one per level. The rule while under a section about "Touch Spells and Holding the Charge" is specifically about touch spells with which you can not hold the charge. You can not hold the charge and use these rules because the rule states "You can’t hold the charge of such a spell; you must touch all targets of the spell in the same round that you finish casting the spell.". These rules apply to Chill Touch because it allows multiple targets as is trigger specified in the preceding sentence "Some touch spells allow you to touch multiple targets as part of the spell.". Furthermore if this section of rule applies to Chill Touch then "you must touch all targets of the spell in the same round that you finish casting the spell." and I think the spell allows you to do so. Both of these rules apply when Holding the Charge which I do not think one can do with Chill Touch. [/QUOTE]
