Hi everyone!
New to the boards and new to Pathfinder. Had our first session today. The group is made of 4e players but I played 3e/3.5e and talked them into trying Pathfinder. I'm the GM and before I told my PC this was possible I thought I'd double check it with the community.
The PC is a Gnome Sorcerer with Draconic Bloodline. He took Blue Dragon as his Bloodline and used the shocking grasp spell today for the added Oomph!
Is the following true?
If he misses with the Touch attack on the Shocking Grasp he retains the charge.
Next turn he can make a melee claw attack thanks to his Draconic Bloodline, which counts as an "armed" unarmed attack, preventing attacks of opportunity, and if one of those attacks hits, since he gets two, both the claw damage and the Shocking Grasp get discharged.
That's the way I read it, and the funny thing is I know he didn't plan it that way. It's pretty cool in my opinion.

sounds right. i guess some people could argue for making the person declare which hand had the charge, but i don't think thats required.
but the tactic is totally legit
