Can your Attack of Oppotunity be a Melee Touch Attack?


Rules Questions


The rules say if you have a Touch spell at the ready you are considered armed. And if you are armed you can make Attacks of Op.

So could you use a Touch spell that is at the ready to make a AoO with a Melee Touch Attack?

I'm pretty sure you can, yes. As mentioned, you are armed with the held charge.

Cool, I just wasnt sure if Melee Attack and Melee Touch Attack were synonymous.


They're not synonymous but all melee touch attacks are melee attacks.

If the spell has already been cast, and you are holding a charge, yes. Because by the rules, that's effectively wielding a weapon.


Seems especially fun with Frostbite or Chill Touch and Combat Reflexes.
Edit: Even better, Touch of Blindness!
