So, Conductive (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/magic-weapons/magic-weapon-special-abilities/conductive) weapons allow you to channel certain abilities through them while making normal weapon attacks.
Normally, this is pretty charge-intensive - you pay two charges per use, and obviously have to deal with the drawbacks of making weapon-attacks (targeting AC instead of touch-AC mostly). However, if you do not have a daily limit on the ability, you can use it as often as you want through a conductive weapon. Thus, it effectively becomes a free enhancement to your weapon attacks.
Now the question is, what abilities are good for this?
An ability must fulfill the following criteria to work with a conductive weapon:
- it must be supernatural or spell-like
- it must be delivered via a touch attack - either in melee or as a ranged one.
- it should have unlimited uses per day for the purpose of this thread. Though feel free to also mention other abilities that you consider good for this.
So far, I'm only aware of a few abilities that give you unlimited uses for a conductive weapon. I would really like to add more, but this is what I have so far:
- A Kineticists (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/occult-adventures/occult-classes/kineticist) Kinetic Blast works with this, and even comes with scaling damage and other modifies.
- A Souleaters (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/prestige-classes/other-paizo/s-z/souleater) Energy Drain has no daily limit, and delivers no-save negative levels, while even giving you temporary hit points and other benefits.
It'd be quite kind if you provide other abilities that work well with conductive weapons, and that are available to players. Whether from feats, traits, races or classes, they'd be quite welcome.
