[QUOTE="TheGogmagog, post: 2832283, member: 27702"] Yes, touch attacks can be delivered with an unarmed attack. I believe the Slam attack is a standard action, so no flurry of blows or multiple attacks. You chose to deliver the slam attack normally or with an unarmed strike. Alternativly you may make a full attack action to make unarmed strikes, but no slam attack. The difference is in a spell that discharges, say shocking grasp. Delivered normally, you only need to hit touch AC, if you crit (20x2) the SPELL does double damage. Delivered with an unnarmed strike, you have to hit the normal defender's AC, you deal unarmed strike damage plus the spell damage, if you crit the unarmed strike damge is doubled the spell damage is unaffected. The shocking grasp spell is discharged by hitting a target so you could make a full attack and the first hit would discharge the spell. The only benefit of delivering a slam attack with an unarmed strike is swaping touch AC with Full AC in order to do unarmed strike damage. That's the way I understand it. I think Complete Arcane describes this. [/QUOTE]
