Duskblade Arcane Channeling Clarification

[StevenC21]

Do I get to deal damage with the melee attack, as if I used a normal attack?

Also, touch spells Target touch AC normally. Do I have to hit normal AC for the channeled spell to work? What if I beat touch AC, but not full AC?

[Kurald Galain]

Yes, and yes. And nothing happens.

[StevenC21]

Thanks for the clarification!

I don't want to seem rude, but where's the source?

[Kurald Galain]

...the class desription for the duskblade says so. I'm afraid I can't quote that here since it's not public content.

[StevenC21]

I understand.

I'll look it up later, than.

[Cygnia]

Yeah, nothing like adding insult to injury -- literally -- when you channel Touch of Idiocy when hitting a caster. :smallamused:
