[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 3056499, member: 111"] No, it's not a touch spell. Quite right. (duh!) However, a touch spell is a very useful parallel as that is where this sort of situation is fully explored. That being physical damage with energy damage and regular attack and touch attacks. The biggest real difference is that melee touch attacks are simply not permitted any time you want them and trip attacks give you the ONLY touch attack normally allowed for a melee weapon - and even then ONLY for a "tripping" weapon. Honestly, I think it would be a useful thing for the game if: 1. Touch attacks were eliminated. or 2. Energy weapon effects (and [b][i]maybe[/i][/b][i][/i] some other specific ones) were allowed on a touch attack that could be done at any time instead of a regular attack. Of course, like a spell, you'd ONLY get the energy damage, not physical damage, and, also, like a spell, you'd ONLY get the energy damage on a regular attack with a regular hit. [/QUOTE]
