Are You Able To Continue Using Touch Spells?

The duration of touch range spells depends on the spell type and whether it is a concentration spell or a straight attack. Concentration spells can persist as long as concentration is maintained until the spell ends, while straight attacks require casting again. However, touch range spells, such as spell resistance, are not considered fixed ranges and cannot be persisted with the Persistent Spell feat.

Touch spells can be affected by the occular spell feat, which makes any spell into a fixed 60ft range ray. Fixed range spells, listed in feet, never change, and every time a spell is cast, the range can be held indefinitely. Long-range spells and spells with fixed ranges are unaffected.

To persist touch spells, the spell must affect the caster’s person (personal range) or have some effect that affects the target. Touch spells affected by the Reach spell metamagic feat are eligible for persisting. Target and Range entries are separate, very general.

A Persistent Spell changes a Personal or Fixed Range spell’s Duration to 24 hours, and a persisted spell can then benefit from Extend Spell. Using the Find Familiar feature allows casting and delivery of touch spells through familiars up to a range of 100 feet. Reach spells can be used to obtain feel-good touches as persistent spells, and shape spells can be used to achieve persisted effects.

If trying to touch an unwilling target, there needs to be a mechanism to determine whether the person trying to touch or trying to avoid is trying to touch. The 5th-level necromancy magic Contagion is awarded for best touch spell in the game, as this melee spell attack makes the target suffer the poisoned poison.
