09-19-07, 05:09 PM Arcane Channeling = cast a touch spell and attack once (standard) or as many times as your BAB allows (full round).

Touch spells normally are 20/x2 crit.

So my question is: If your weapon is 19-20/x2, and you roll a 19 and confirm it does the touch spell still do double damage?

If your weapon is 20/x3 and you confirm a crit, does it also do triple damage?

Precisely correct.

Thank you.

09-25-07, 01:40 PM You only get to attack once, unless you are 13th level (the crowning ability of the Duskblade).

And, yeah, the spell is "extra damage", so it's not multiplied on a crit.
