Words of Power - Wound Word


Rules Questions


I have a question for the Wound series of words...

Do these requires a ranged touch attack, a Fort save, or both?


Spell description?

Lesser Wound (Wounding)

School necromancy; Level cleric 1, inquisitor 1, witch 1

Duration instantaneous

Saving Throw Will half; Spell Resistance yes

Target Restrictions selected

The target of a wordspell with this effect word takes 1d6 points of damage + 1 point per wordcaster level (maximum +5). Undead are instead healed by this effect and do not receive a saving throw or spell resistance.

Boost: The target of a wordspell with this effect takes 1d8 points of damage + 1 point per wordcaster level (maximum +5).

Both the touch attack (melee or ranged, at your discretion) and the Will save are required.

Yes, Will save, not Fort.


Where does it say that it requires a touch attack?

The target restrictions."Selected" is a touch attack. ranged or melee.

A wordspell with this target word affects a single target within range. If the wordspell deals energy damage, this word creates a ray that requires a ranged touch attack to hit, or it can be used as a melee touch attack with no range (decided by the wordcaster when the wordspell is cast). If it is used as a melee touch attack and the attack misses, the wordcaster can hold the charge and try again with subsequent attacks.
