Does the spell Blindness / Deafness require an attack roll?

[xris]

As far as I can see, the only roll required for Blindness / Deafness is a Fortitude saving throw.

Spells of a similar nature, for example Bestow Curse or Contagion, are Touch spells therefore require a Melee touch attack roll (as well as having a saving throw).
Blindness / Deafness isn't a touch spell, it has a range (medium) but the spell doesn't seem to require a ranged touch attack roll.

I just wanted to check if I have this correct.

That is correct; there's no attack roll for blindness/deafness.

Blindness/Deafness is a medium range spell. You cast it, and the victim makes a fortitude save, which if the fail they suffer the consequence. No attack roll required.

That is correct. There are many spells that don't require ranged touch attacks, this is one of them.

Thanks all for the quick replies.

This is partly why I asked. Most of the spells I've noticed that have a range but don't require a ranged touch attack seem to have the "mind-affecting" descriptor (which, clearly Blindness / Deafness doesn't).

Many thanks.

A ton of spells have a range without requiring an attack roll, without being mind-affecting. Many evocation spells, for instance, such as fireball and lightning bolt.
