Multiple touch spells with "Charge"


Rules Questions

Liberty's Edge

What if a player casts frostbite and then chill touch. And then they touch someone. Do both spells take effect?

Core rulebook, Magic chapter, under Duration heading, and the Touch Spells and Holding the Charge subheading. It clearly states casting another spell ends your previously cast touch spell. It is therefore impossible to double upunder most circumstances.

You're welcome, though I misremembered. It's actually further down. I've corrected my first post.

Relevant rules can also be found in the Combat chapter.

Locking this thread. In the future, please note that the second part of this post is what we consider "Baiting" behavior under our Community Guidelines. It's not cool to shut other people down in this fashion, and it doesn't foster the fun and friendly space we'd like our forums to be.
