[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 1358443, member: 1656"] Huh. That's new in 3.5 - there never used to be an "all in one round" qualification. And it used to be a limit of 6 willing creatures in one round as a full round action. But notice that "as many as you can reach" is limited to [i]willing[/i] targets. Making a touch attack against an unwilling creature is still limited to one in the round you cast, or multiple on a full attack action in subsequent rounds. But as he notes, Chill Touch as written doesn't allow holding the charge. I'd be inclined to say "They screwed up when they did the revision", and let Chill Touch work like it did in 3E, when there was no "all in one round" rule for multiple touch spells. I can only guess they introduced that rule because, as written in 3E, you could affect hundreds of people with Water Breathing over the course of an hour. Thousands. But [i]if[/i that was the reason, it would have made more sesne to limit Water Breathing, rather than messing with the whole touch spell system. -Hyp.[/i] [/QUOTE]
