TouchAttackMelee(object, int)
Performs a touch melee attack out of turn.
Parameters
- oTarget
- The target of the touch melee attack.
- bDisplayFeedback
- Display graphical feedback on the attack. (Default: TRUE)
Description
The caller will perform a melee touch attack on oTarget. This is not an action, and it assumes the caller is already within range of oTarget.
Returns 0 on a miss, 1 on a hit, and 2 on a critical hit.
Remarks
No combat animations are performed, and no damage is dealt. It simply does a roll to see if the target is hit, and if bDisplayFeedback is TRUE, displays feedback in the combat feedback window.
The attackers melee touch attacks are based on:
- BAB + strength modifier (only if positive) + nature sense + epic prowess (unless a ranged weapon is equipped) + unarmed weapon focus feats (if unarmed or using a creature weapon) + effects
A touch attack denies the defender their armor and shield AC (base and bonus), as well as their natural armor bonus to AC. All other armor class modifiers, such as the size modifier, dexterity modifier, and deflection/dodge bonus apply (or don't apply, e.g. if flat-footed) normally. Consequentially, touch attacks sometimes have a significantly better chance of hitting than regular attacks.
Version
This function was updated in 1.83.8193.21 of NWN:EE. It made it so weapon attack bonuses are not added to touch attacks, for instance arming yourself with a +5 Longsword will not add 5 to the attack rolls of this function anymore.
