[QUOTE="RJSmalls, post: 513560, member: 8007"] [b]Hmm[/b] Icebear, I thought of that - perhaps it was game balance that drove him to that conclusion. And if that's the case, I guess it begs the question as to whether game balance would, indeed, be unduly affected were we not to rule it the way I originally posted? On a related side-note, I almost wish the FAQ contained a little supportive documentation to see why the Sage ruled something the way he did. For example, in this case, if they added the caveat of "While I understand my ruling may not necessarily be realistic, I feel the capability for a missed Unarmed Strike to hit a target's Touch AC and thus deliver a Touch Spell negatively affects game balance and is not with the intent or spirit of the Core Rules." A simple sentence here or there, I think, would help remove some confusion and lessen the flame traffic on boards such as this one. If you give a guy an answer, that's one thing; but if you show him how to determined the answer, well - that's quite another. My $.02.
