bouncing spell due to failed touch attack

But do you add your Ability modifier from Charisma to that roll, or is it just a pure d20? Wouldn't that make touch spells very difficult to land? Some monsters have a touch AC of almost 20.Īlso, is the spell considered used and depleted for the day even if it doesnt succeed? And can you cast as many lvl0 spells as you wish one day?Īnother question is, if you cast a spell that provokes an attack of opportunity, which one happens first? The attack or the spell? If the attack would kill the caster, is the spell cast first or not at all? When casting Ray of Frost, we understand you roll a d20 against the monsters Touch AC (which in the goblins case according to the Bestiary is 13).

Her character is a draconic sorcerer with, amongst others, Ray of Frost and Sleep as combat spells. A couple of questions arose and I was hoping to get some help from the pros here. I bought Pathfinder a couple of days ago and have created a PC with my wife and tonight we tried to take her through a fight against three goblins just to get a feel for the system. I've been playing role playing games for many years, but have never played any of the classic american fantasy games like dnd or pathfinder, so I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to d20 and how it works. /r/3d6 - For character creation, advice and sharing (system agnostic)./r/Battlemaps - For your VTT battlemap requirements./r/Tabletop - For your general tabletop gaming shenanigans./r/lfg - Looking For Group, find other players, etc./r/RPG - For general, non-Pathfinder related RPG discussion./r/Starfinder_rpg - For dedicated discussion of Paizo's Science Fantasy system and setting./r/Pathfinder_Kingmaker - To discuss the Owlcat-made computer RPGs./r/Pathfinder2e - For dedicated Second Edition discussion.
