As the title.

I know that Quicken+Reach is doable. No debate there.

But the Reach+Chain thing has got me thinking. Once I Reach a cure spell (range=touch) it becomes a ray. A ray need a targets. So I get a specific target, a requisite of Chain Spell.
I believe I have all the bases covered? Is there something against it?

Thx

I'm fairly sure ray spells can't be chained. They are

Effect: ray

not

Target: one creature

Any confirmation on this?

Journeyman has it right.

Chain Spell can apply only to a single target and must have a range greater than Touch.

If a spell is targeted, then the spell's entry will have a line in the header that says Target : (something). A Targeted spell automatically affects the targets (unless it has a range of touch, in which case it requires a melee touch attack roll).

Spells that produce rays do not have a Target entry, so they are not targeted. The ray they produce is aimed at a target, but the mechanism is not Targeting.

Thus you cannot chain a Ray spell.

i agree. no chaining of effect spells.
