Hi guys,
The Sorceress in my party relies heavily on ranged touch attack spells, which is why she took point blank shot and and precise shot at the first opportunity. Unfortunately this has led to a rules question about whether or not those feats would apply to her orb of acid spells; there is a passage in the Players HB that states that they apply to Ray spells but it says nothing about orbs, probably because there were no orb spells in that book.
I checked the Complete Arcane but I didn't see any rules about about how orbs should be treated. So which is it? It would make sense if it applied since they are virtually identical except for the terminology, but it wouldn't surprise if Wizards simply forgot to add something that addressed the issue. Oh, and can I get a reference for the appropriate rule if it exists?
Thx and Cheers,
