Ranged Touch Attack and Range Modifiers

[skyde]

Sorry about the noobish quest but I have a question about ranged touch attacks. Specifically do you have to account for the range modifiers for them?

Example Sorcerer Aberrant bloodline power Acidic ray states that you can fire that baby to 30 feet. What kind of range modifiers would you get?

Best regards,

None, IMO. You just can't cast spells further than their range allows; I wouldn't treat Spell-like abilities any different.

Spells, Sp abilities and Su abilities do not have range increments. The range listed is the maximum range for them, unlike for weapons. This means that you cannot Acidic Ray on someone who is standing 40' away by taking a a -2 on the shot.

You might also want to check pages 213-214 of the Core Rulebook on the range rules of spells.
