I'm starting a Pathfinder game after being away from 3.X for a long time (some forays into Saga, 4e, WEG D6, and AGE). I'm introducing a new group to this rules set and I'm having some issues in that, while I've Dm'd other games, I never Dm'd with our old 3.X group or played a spellcaster. So I have a couple of rules I could use some clarification on, if you all don't mind.
Q1 - Ranged Touch Attack
Do Ranged Touch Attacks incur the -4 penalty when firing into melee? The section talking about the penalty only names Ranged Weapons specifically, but I remember our old DM giving the penalty to the wizard. Were we doing it wrong?
Q2 - Spellcraft/Concentration
I was just reading in the combat rules when I came across this paragraph under Readied Actions-
Distracting Spellcasters - You can ready an attack against a spellcaster with the trigger "if she starts casting a spell." If you damage the spellcaster, she may loose the spell she was trying to cast (as determined by her Spellcraft check result).
Is this a typo? Shouldn't that be a Concentration check? I don't have my book with me, I read this on the prd.
