bouncing spell due to failed touch attack

Unarmed strikes do qualify as light weapons.ĥ) Hextor is a poor choice if you're going to emphasize unarmed strikes, because Hextor's favored weapon is the light or heavy flail. The best outcome from the feat is if you're a Small character without Monk levels, because that gives you the same unarmed damage schedule as a Monk of your size through level 19.Ĥ) To my knowledge Insightful Strike isn't a feat instead it's a Swashbuckler class ability. You'll get the worst outcome from Superior Unarmed Strike and a single level of Monk, because you'll be stuck on the Monk progression and never advance. As far as Superior Unarmed Strike, it has different damage progressions depending on whether you've got Monk levels or not. There are plenty of magical ways of increasing unarmed damage, so those are better options. more damage.ģ) No, it's generally not worth dipping into another class unless it either provides a huge boost at 1st level or you've got a multiclassing feat that adds your levels together. Again, it's a tradeoff between an easier attack (touch AC) vs. The rules grant you an extra attack in the same round you cast a touch attack spell, and you can attempt to touch your target with any form of attack that would allow you to discharge the spell. With a natural attack or unarmed strike you'll just have to hit the higher non-touch AC.Ģ) As soon as your body is charged with a touch spell you will discharge the spell when you touch a suitable target, even accidentally. You can deliver a touch spell with any mechanism that involves you touching your target. I will probobly be LN, worshipping Hextor, taking the domains War, Wrath, and Pride.ġ) Yes. I would like to know if some on the things that I would like to do are possible.ġ.) Can you deliver a touch spell through an unarmed attack?Ģ.) If you can, do you have to cast the spell on one turn and attack the next or can you make the unarmed strike instead of making the melee touch attack?ģ.) Is it worth it to take a level dip into Monk, or should I just use a Monk's Belt? If I take that dip and have superior unarmed strike do I use the higher damage, as based on my character's EL, or the monk level + 4?Ĥ.)Unarmed strike is under the simple weapons category, does this mean the Insigtful Strike feat works on it?ĥ.)Any additional on-touch activation reserve feats or general suggestions to be applied to this character would be welcomed.

I am going to use the spontaneous caster variant, along with reserve feats like sickening touch. Just as an exercise in character design I am thinking about putting together a Cleric 5/Ordained Champion 5/Sacred Fist 10.
