Touch abilities as attacks of opportunity

[Swukmuck]

Hi there

My Cleric of Sharess and ahs charm and luck as domains. She has a dazzling touch as an ability. As an ability it does not require casting.

Should I be able to use this ability as an attack of opportunity?

Thanks

Nope. Supernatural or SLAs are standard actions, and not available as attacks of opportunity, unless there is something in the specific power that makes it so.

Yes, if you are already holding a charge.

“Armed” Unarmed Attacks: Sometimes a character’s or creature’s unarmed attack counts as an armed attack. A monk, a character with the Improved Unarmed Strike feat, a spellcaster delivering a touch attack spell, and a creature with natural physical weapons all count as being armed (see natural attacks).

Note that being armed counts for both offense and defense (the character can make attacks of opportunity).

However, if you are not holding a charge you cannot use an ability such as Dazzling Touch as an Attack of Opportunity because using the ability requires an action (such as a standard action).
