Touch spells


Rules Questions


Do all touch spells require an attack roll? or only if its specifically stated in the description as some are and some aren't. ie. Bestow Curse

Any time your target wouldn't want you to touch them (essentially everything but buffs or heals), you need an attack roll.

It's not dictated by the spell, but by who you're touching:

- Cure light wounds on an injured friend won't require a touch attack.

- Cure light wounds on a skeleton will require a touch attack.

(obviously your friend can decide to be an @$$-hat, but you get what I mean)

to be fair, thats not being an @$$hat as much as an idiot, since they stand to lose more from it, but your point stands


Or a vow of celibacy monk.


of some one with negative energy affinity
