The cleric domain ability touch of evil reads "You can imbue a target with chaos as a melee touch attack." Several other domain powers also work this way. A few questions about this wording:
1. Does this require a standard action to cast, and then another action to make the melee touch attack, or is it just the touch attack? The section on cleric domain powers says "Unless otherwise noted, activating a domain power is a standard action", but it's somewhat unclear whether the melee touch attack is intended to be the activation action.
2. If it is just a touch attack, does using it provoke attacks of opportunity? It is a spell-like ability, and they do provoke, but its also a charged touch attack, which specifically don't provoke.
I did a bit of digging through forums and FAQs, and nothing seemed to quite answer the question. Different people seemed to have different ways of interpreting it. It seems like a place where the rules don't quite fit together.
