What is a touch attack Pathfinder?
A touch attack is a type of melee attack; you make it just the same as any other sort of melee attack. Effectively, it is a melee attack made using the charge of a touch-attack spell (or other ability) as your “weapon,” and with the benefit of ignoring armor, natural armor, and shield bonuses to AC.
How long can you hold a touch spell Pathfinder?
Touch Spells and Holding the Charge In most cases, if you don’t discharge a touch spell on the round you cast it, you can hold the charge (postpone the discharge of the spell) indefinitely.

How does Bab work Pathfinder?
As a character gains levels or Hit Dice, his base Attack Bonus improves. When a creature’s base Attack Bonus reaches +6, +11, or +16, he receives an additional attack in Combat when he takes a full-attack Action (which is one type of full-round action—see Combat).
How is Bab calculated?
To calculate BAB of a multiclass character, first round down the BAB for each class, then add numbers together. For example, a level 3 character with one level of rogue, one level of bard, and one level of sorcerer has a BAB of 0 (floor(0.5) + floor(0.75) + floor(0.75)).
How does attack bonus work in DND?
The Attack Bonus you’re referring to, in the middle of the Starter Set Character Sheets, is added to attack rolls (only, never damage). It’s calculated using your Proficiency Bonus plus your relevant Ability Modifier (usually Strength for melee weapons and Dexterity for ranged).
Do you add proficiency bonus to damage?
Proficiency is generally not added to damage rolls unless some feature expressly says it should. Additionally, it is important to remember that with Finesse weapons, the fighter has the choice of which modifier to use, but they have to use the same modifier for both attack and defense.
How is DND damage bonus calculated?
When attacking with a weapon, your bonus to hit is equal to your proficiency modifier plus your ability modifier (so at level 1, your proficiency modifier is +2, you said your strength is +3, so the total bonus is +5 – what D&Dbeyond is showing you). Your bonus to damage is just your strength bonus, so it’s +3.
How do you attack a DM?
Making an Attack
- Choose a target. Pick a target within your attack’s range: a creature, an object, or a location.
- Determine modifiers. The DM determines whether the target has cover and whether you have advantage or disadvantage against the target.
- Resolve the attack. You make the attack roll.
Is it an action to open a door?
No. Open or close a door is a specific action which is a move action (search for “Open or close a door” on the page). A light well built door with an ergonomic latch that opens away from you should barely slow you down at all. The game Rules As Written does not make that distinction.

Does moving count as an action?
Movement is not a “move action” because it can be split up freely. Unlike the “action” and “bonus action” described above, movement doesn’t have to be a single discrete event. If you take an action that includes more than one weapon attack, you can break up your movement even further by moving between those attacks.
