Touch Injection + Skinsend

[Alric Rahl]

IM starting this thread to explain that Skinsend does not work with Touch Injection.

Touch Injection: The held substance drains from its container into a magical sac in your body.

Your BODY not your skin... your body.

Skinsend peels your skin OFF your body. since the magical sac is inside your body, touching someone with the peeled off skin would not discharge the potion/elixir.

This isn't the combo people have been talking about over a year is done. The point is to put the infused skin send extract in your sack then make the dragons skin vacate his body along with half his hit points with no saving throw.

Edit changed infusion to extract

sadly none of this works >effectively< with potions (I am talking about the target of the potion, whether he drinks it or is injected with it)... the reason is quite simple, the user is in control of the potion and that includes ending the spell (duration) and that's a standard action for any spell that's dismissable or requires concentration. Potions are also 3rd level or lower... so after all your jazz of getting the potion in a target, on his turn he dismisses it and the effect ends... it would be more effective to hit him with a bag filled with the gold that the potion costs.

Read the Magic Item Creation Crafting Potions description. "The imbiber of the potion is both the caster and the target. Spells with a range of personal cannot be made into potions."

You can't have personal range potions in the first place, so skinsend is incompatible with touch injection unless you're using an extract.

Extracts are the most varied of the three. In many ways, they behave like spells in potion form, and as such their effects can be dispelled by effects like dispel magic using the alchemist's level as the caster level. Unlike potions, though, extracts can have powerful effects and duplicate spells that a potion normally could not.

thus most GMs would apply the potion description that the user(target) is the caster for dismissal and ending concentration. See my post above.
