Touch Spells and Healing

[Draco_Lord]

So been reading through some spells, and I was wondering, can you touch multiple creatures with any touch spell? And if not, which ones can you use?

Some touch spells allow you to touch multiple targets. You can touch up to 6 willing targets as part of the casting, but all targets of the spell must be touched in the same round that you finish casting the spell. If the spell allows you to touch targets over multiple rounds, touching 6 creatures is a full-round action.

WIth that bit of information I was looking at Cure LIght wounds, and just curious, if you have a full round action, can you then use one spell to heal all your friends?

You can't, sadly; if you look at the Target line for Cure Light Wounds, it says "Creature touched" - one creature.

If you look at the various "Communal" spells, for example Communal Ant Haul, it lists "creatures touched" as the target - and it explains in the description that you divide the duration up between all target creatures.

Basically, if it doesn't specifically say you can target multiple creatures, and it's a Touch spell, you only get to touch one thing - but remember, if you miss with the touch attack, you're still holding the charge for that spell.
