![]() You can score critical hits with either type of attack as long as the spell deals damage. Touch attacks come in two types: melee touch attacks and ranged touch attacks. The act of casting a spell, however, does provoke an attack of opportunity. Touch Attacks: Touching an opponent with a touch spell is considered to be an armed attack and therefore does not provoke attacks of opportunity. the bolded section doesn't mention spells?Īctually spells that require attack rolls are considered weapons and are subject to this penalty. ![]() Precise Shot: If you have the Precise Shot feat, you don't take this penalty. ![]() There is no penalty for firing at a creature that is three size categories larger than the friendly characters it is engaged with. If your target is two size categories larger than the friendly characters it is engaged with, this penalty is reduced to –2. If your target (or the part of your target you're aiming at, if it's a big target) is at least 10 feet away from the nearest friendly character, you can avoid the –4 penalty, even if the creature you're aiming at is engaged in melee with a friendly character. (An unconscious or otherwise immobilized character is not considered engaged unless he is actually being attacked.) Two characters are engaged in melee if they are enemies of each other and either threatens the other. Shooting or Throwing into a Melee: If you shoot or throw a ranged weapon at a target engaged in melee with a friendly character, you take a –4 penalty on your attack roll. To be honest with all of these things its the degree to which they are taken, trying to get free 0 level metamagiced spells, i can live with (having played enough 3.5 with spell casters insisting on resting because they ran out of spells, haveing a non useless mage so the fighter caries on a little longer is fine by me) but trying to get unlimited suggestion may result in dissapointment.I assume you think is works this way because in this text: On the other hand try it with a spell not originally 0 level and the resuslts may accidentally fizzle and the god of magic espresses its disaproval. does mean you are not casting say fireball and having spell mastery and focus on it (and that isn't even pushing the limits of 3-4th level spells) Ok so you use what 2-3 feats and a 4th level spell to do 1d3 cold damage. In any case, Point Blank Shot is perfectly use-able with Rays and an excellent first level feat choice for an arcane caster (or sorcerer with elemental bloodline). A ray spell threatens a critical hit on a natural roll of 20 and deals double damage on a successful critical hit." If a ray spell deals damage, you can score a critical hit just as if it were a weapon. If a ray spell has a duration, it's the duration of the effect that the ray causes, not the length of time the ray itself persists. Intervening creatures and obstacles, however, can block your line of sight or provide cover for the creature at which you're aiming. You don't have to see the creature you're trying to hit, as you do with a targeted spell. As with a ranged weapon, you can fire into the dark or at an invisible creature and hope you hit something. You aim a ray as if using a ranged weapon, though typically you make a ranged touch attack rather than a normal ranged attack.
