    Default How do I chain self only spells?

    I am sure there is a way to get from self only spells to chained spells so you can buff the entire party with the self only spell...

    A level of archmage gives you the ability to:
    Arcane Reach (Su)

    The archmage can use spells with a range of touch on a target up to 30 feet away. The archmage must make a ranged touch attack. Arcane reach can be selected a second time as a special ability, in which case the range increases to 60 feet. This ability costs one 7th-level spell slot.
    And the chain spell feat obviously would be required to chain the spell.

    This leaves me needing to change a target of self to a target of touch. How do you go about doing that?

    the glass is always 100% full. Approximately 50% of its volume is full of dihydrogen monoxide and some dissolved solutes, and approx 50% a mixture of gasses known as "air" which contains roughly (by volume) 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases.

    Ocular Spell and/or Reach Spell I think can do it.

    Spellguard of Silverymoon has an ability that allows you to cast any protective buffs or buffs that grant temp HP on allies as a touch spell. I forget exactly the book, but its in one of the Faerun books (obviously).

    Spellguard of Silverymoon is from Player's Guide to Faerun, Keld.

    Acorn of Far Travel and Magic of the Land (Races of the Wild) complete the Spellguard combo.

    You only need that combo for a couple spells though. Divine Power, the ultimate personal spell you'd want to chain, already grants temp HP. Alter Self typically grants natural armor, so it qualifies.

    If you're an Abjurer, 10 levels in Master Specialist gives you the ability to turn Personal into Touch 3/day.

    That's a pretty big If though.
    Rules that supersede Rule 0:

    Rule -1: You're all there to have fun. The GM and the players should never do anything that would limit people's fun, for any in-game or real-life reason.

    Rule -0.5 (corollary): That means that if someone's fun is getting in the way of other people's fun, that person needs to change how they're playing.

    Or take 10 levels of master specialist as an abjurer. If memory serves that bumps self/touch spells up to 30ft ranged touch or some such.

    But, y'know, 10 levels as an uber-specialist wizard.


    Damn ninjas.
