Cleave and multiple touch attacks


Rules Questions

Lantern Lodge

Alright, quick question: could a wizard cast chill touch, and the on the following round use cleave to deliver multiple charges in a single turn?


It was intended to be used with weapons, but it might work. You may have to ask your GM if he will allow it.

You can use this melee touch attack up to one time per level.

As a standard action, you can make a single attack at your full base attack bonus against a foe within reach. If you hit, you deal damage normally and can make an additional attack (using your full base attack bonus) against a foe that is adjacent to the first and also within reach.

RAW: It works fine.

I'd only allow it if you make "karate chop hands" every time you want to use it. not your character, you. you must roll with "karate chop hands" for my amusement


I think each attack would discharge the spell, but you are allowed 1/caster level, so I guess there's no problem with dissipating all your allowed Chill Touches with a Great Cleave.

But I think you only get 1 target with a Shocking Grasp, even when you hit others with your Great Cleave.
