HaraldKlak thanks for the clarification, much appreciated. Plex
How are actions handled with conductive weapons? In this example an Antipaladin is using the weapon to conduct his Touch of Corruption ability through the blade. Normally use of Touch of Corruption is a standard action. Does using a conductive weapon still require the expediture of a standard action? The description of the conductive weapon property quoted below is not clear on this. All it says is: "When the wielder makes a successful attack of the appropriate type, he may choose to expend two uses of his magical ability to channel it through the weapon to the struck opponent". The reason I ask is to understand one's options for combat. If one is required to expend a standard action then one could never full attack and use Touch of Corruption conducted through a weapon. Clarification of this would be much appreciated. A conductive weapon is able to channel the energy of a spell-like or supernatural ability that relies on a melee or ranged touch attack to hit its target (such as from a cleric’s domain granted power, sorcerer’s bloodline power, oracle’s mystery revelation, or wizard’s arcane school power). When the wielder makes a successful attack of the appropriate type, he may choose to expend two uses of his magical ability to channel it through the weapon to the struck opponent, who takes the effects of the weapon attack and the special ability. (If the wielder has unlimited uses of a special ability, he may channel through the weapon every round.) For example, a paladin who strikes an undead opponent with her conductive greatsword can expend two uses of lay on hands ability (a supernatural melee touch attack) to deal greatsword damage and damage from one use of her lay on hands. This weapon property can only be used once per round, and only works with magical abilities of the same type as the weapon (melee or ranged).
