Help me out here and please clarify if I am missing something.
My 14th level cleric of Calistra can do 21d8 + 15 damage per round with Harm.
She has to hit 3 times with a melee touch attack, each casting of the spell being one action.
Since she is using the channel energy ability, the castings are all heightened to her highest spell level (7th), thus 7d8 per attack with +5 for her wisdom on each attack.
These attacks are against touch AC.
There is no iterative penalty, as Harm does not have the "Attack" trait and does not use the "Strike" action. Many spells reference these, but Harm does not, and melee touch attacks in the spell attack section (p197) does not reference this as having the "Attack" trait or "Strike" action.
And there is no save against the one-action Harm spell.
So with +5 (wisdom) +2 (spell mastery) +14 (proficiency) +2 (item - spell duelists gloves) = +23 to hit TAC, the hit is not guaranteed at this level, but each hit will do 7d8 + 5 damage and there is no iterative penalty to the attack.
Before my GM throws dice at me - what am I missing?
