[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 159913, member: 111"] It will take good DM'ing to figure this out. There are four things that might happen, in the order I consider most likely: 1. The Barbarian is touched, purposely or accidentally, and gets the Chill Touch effect on him. 2. The mage is touched accidentally by himself during the grapple, and gets the full effect of the Chill Touch. 3. The spell dissipates harmlessly into whatever the mage accidentally touches - the floor, wall, whatever. It dissipates harmlessly because it's not a legitimate target for the spell, but the PHB states clearly that the spell is . 4. The mage keeps the spell at the ready, and can strike with it on his turn. Of course, it's also possible for the mage to simply let the spell power go without discharging it at all, but I think he can only do that on his own turn. [/QUOTE]
