[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 2884358, member: 307"] The [i]hand[/i] moves any distance the caster desires it to within the range of the spell. he could use it to deliver a touch attack against a target 100+ feet in front of him, and then move the [i]hand[/i] to a location 100+ feet behind him if he desires. Use of the [i]spectral hand[/i] is elective. You don't have to use it to deliver a touch spell if you don't want to (although if you have it active, it makes sense to deliver as many touch spells as you can with it, because it gives a +2 bonus to the attack roll). Attacking with the hand replaces a single attack. If the caster has more than one attack and wants to stab someone with his dagger, or take a shot with his crossbow in the same round, that's perfectly okay. The Fine size gives a +8 size bonus to armor class. I think they treat the [i]hand[/i] as "superfine" and give it a +12 size bonus to AC (after all, a Diminutive or Fine creature might cast the spell too). If that is the case, then the AC would be 22. However, that doesn't account for the Intelligence bonus to AC that the caster provides, so then the AC would be higher. [/QUOTE]
