allows a creature with an ability that requires that creature touching the target, to channel that ability through his weapon?

Example. Lich Touch through a Lich's staff.

Necrotic Focus weapon enchant? MIC 39. Its a +3 equiv

Only works with ability focus and energy drain though, not a lich's paralytic touch.

Ahh..I thought a Lich's paralytic touch was an ability focus. Regardless, that is exactly what I'm looking for. Thought it was in the form of a feat, though. Regardless, it will work.

EDIT: Or not..that is ability focus or level drain. I need something to channel an ability though the weapon. Ghoul's Paralysis may be a better example?

There is nothing printed in any WotC 3.5 source that I'm familiar with. That was about as close as I could think.

Damnation! Then I am at an impass. I suppose Magic Fang would work in a fix..but that's so damn expensive.

refluff ki focus to <insert ability here> channeling and add another +1 to it and you should be good.

Maybe try an Amulet of Mighty Blows instead? Although its still 3 times the price of normal weapon enhancements.

All I got is the Duskblade class feature to channel spells through weapons, around level 5 IIRC. Beyond that, zip. :smallfrown:

The problem here is that the lich's paralyzing touch is a supernatural attack, so Smiting Spell and the like wouldn't affect it. Oddly, neither Tome of Magic (Pact Magic section) nor Libris Mortis can help you on that.

Still, it's not a bad idea to check on the other feats (Improved Paralysis, Contagious Paralysis) for extra punch.

Say, maybe Libris Mortis has a spell that works for that purpose? Either that or Lords of Madness, but that'd be too consuming: that, or Heroes of Horror.

Oh, thought he was talking about a spell.

There's Contagious Paralysis (Libris Mortis pg 25). Anyone who touches someone that you paralyze with an extraordinary or supernatural ability must Save or be paralyzed as well. I used it with a with Freezing the Lifeblood and Knockback to turn my enemies into paralyzing bowling balls. But a Lich or Ghost or someone with an undead graft could always use it with their paralyzing touch and Knockback (or Hulking Hurler) for the same effect. I know that it's not quite what you're looking for, but it's in the ballpark.
