touch spells through a weapon


Advice

is there a way of delivering a touch spell with a weapon? short of a spell storing weapon or a magus ability.

I'd like to use a reach weapon as a conduit for a touch spell without actually rolling damage from the weapon or even making a standard attack. I'm essentially trying to fake a channel smite ability without actually having the ability to channel.


Channeling weapon but that only works with spell like and supernatural abilities.


Polymorph a familiar into a reach weapon?

closest thing to what you want is the Reach Spell metamagic feat.

I may try to UMD a wand of spectral hand to fake it, or go the metamagic reach route. more likely, I'll just drop the ranseur and get in close with a longsword, and "touch" that way with a slight of hand or bluff.


If you are just trying to fake it for a short time, the weaponwand spell may be an option.

If you worship Torag and like war hammers, Blessed Hammer does exactly what you're asking for.

I'm trying to mimic the bonus damage vs undead a paladin's smite deals without being a paladin.

Then there is the Smite Abomination spell that is literally smite evil against undead as a spell.
