I was looking at SRD and Battle pois, and I keep thinking are they touch attacks?
A fire attack that must hit normal AC looks weird. I mean fire is hot, just touching fire shoud hurt you. It only does energy damage (1d4 fire), not blunt like a torch.
But it doesn't mention it hits touch AC.

Is it a normak attack? Can you then Pirana Strike with it?

Looks like, as written, attacks with battle poi are regular attacks, not touch attacks. Seems they're treated as any other weapon but deal fire damage instead of regular damage. Piranha Strike should apply.
Hmm. A goblin with battle poi and the Burn! Burn! Burn! feat would be quite a terror.
The weight of the poi is insufficient to deal physical damage
When wielding a light weapon, you can choose to take a -1 penalty on all melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks to gain a +2 bonus on all melee damage rolls.
Do +1 battle poi deal +1 fire damage?
Even better get a +1 frost Basttle poi: so you deal 1d4 +1 fire and 1d6 cold damage.
