Message: <blockquote data-quote="hong" data-source="post: 238285" data-attributes="member: 537">Re: Re: Holding the charge on a ranged touchI dunno. The glossary in the PHB defines the relevant terms thus:Touch spell: A spell that delivers its effect when the caster touches a target creature or object. Touch spells are delivered to unwilling targets by touch attacks.Touch attack: An attack in which the attacker must connect with an opponent but does not need to penetrate armour. Touch attacks may be either melee or ranged. [...]Thus a spell that requires a ranged touch attack could still count as a "touch spell", since touch attacks can be melee or ranged. If it counts as a touch spell, then it could be held just like any other.The reason I ask is because I'm redoing the Called Shot feat on my web page to require a full-round action. If a ray spell (requires a touch attack to hit) can be held in hand, this would allow Called Shot to be used with rays (cast the spell, then spend the FRA to make the attack). Conversely, if the spell can't be held, then Called Shot wouldn't work.</blockquote>
