I have not been able to find anything that indicates a touch spell is held in one specific hand, it's certainly not in the official FAQ, but i know some of the paizo staff sometimes answer questions here on the board. Perhaps it's from a post like that?

A link would be greatly appreciated.


If you have cast a touch spell with multiple charges (such as Chill Touch) can you make multiple touch attacks in a round by two-weapon fighting?

I know you get a single, free attack when casting a touch spell, but in this situation i'm talking about the following rounds.

I'm asking because a rogue in my group is considering taking Chill Touch as a rogue talent, and i'm unsure if he would be allowed to make multiple sneak-enabling touch attacks each round (when flanking), or if he would be limited to just one through a standard action.


So you can only do it as part of a normal unarmed strike(or natural attack, if you have those) (which is not a touch attack - ie must hit a targets normal AC instead of Touch AC. And provokes AOO)?

Ninjaed - Thanks, that's how I read it, but i just wanted to be 100% sure before telling my player the bad news for his character.

When you cast a melee touch spell, and you don't hit with the free attack you are allowed to make(or if the touch spell has multiple charges), you can keep attacking with it the following rounds to try and get it off.

My question is, do you have to make each touch attack as a standard action, or can you attempt to two-weapon fight with the touch spell, effectively giving you two chance to hit, for a small penalty on that roll.

Additional, can you make multiple touch attacks if you base attack bonus is high enough to allow for iterative attacks?

The question specifically relates to Chill touch, which has multiple charges based on caster level, but i guess it's the same for a touch spell like Vampiric Touch, at least until you hit the first time.
