Hello, I have some questions about the phantom limb.
The alchemist can manifest a ghostly, incorporeal arm that juts out from his torso. This phantom limb does not grant the alchemist any extra attacks or actions per round, and it cannot hold or grab anything (including incorporeal objects). The alchemist may use his phantom limb to make a touch attack against a foe as a standard action, scraping away at the very fibers of the victim’s soul. This attack deals 1d4 points of damage per alchemist level (Fortitude half ). Creatures that are immune to incorporeal attacks are immune to this damage, but otherwise the damage bypasses all forms of damage reduction except DR/ epic. The alchemist may suppress or activate this ability as a free action, and can use his phantom limb for a number of rounds per day equal to 3 + his Intelligence modifier (these rounds need not be consecutive). An alchemist must be at least 8th level to select this discovery.
1/ What are the creatures that are immune to incorporeal attacks ?
2/ Does this attack function on a incorporeal creature ?
Thanks for your future help.
"Phantom limb"? Seems a little insensitive, but what do I know I guess....
1. I don't know of any such creatures, and my search fu is coming up empty.
2. The intention appears to be an attack with with the incorporeal limb is to be treated as an attack from an incorporeal creature, and attacks from incorporeal creatures affect incorporeal creatures normally. But a stubborn adherence to RAW would indicate that incorporeal creatures would only take half damage from the incorporeal limb . . . unless I missed something in either the incorporeal rules or the rules for the incorporeal limb ability.
No attack of opportunity for the opponent if the character uses the phantom limb to attack an opponent ?
Touch attacks are generally considered "armed" and should not provoke an attack of opportunity.
