I do 2 touch attacks in that round against my opponent. Do i get the benefits of improved energy drain twice? So do i get +2 to my ablities? Also does this stack with Soul Enhancement from the prostege class? Soul Enhancement kinda does the same thing as improved energy drain but doesn't say what type of bonus it is. Last question if you have multiple attacks do to a high base attack can i make multiple touch attacks in the same round against the same opponent? Just curious i have currently have a player whose playing a 10th level soul eater with fighter levels and he whipped out a Astral Deva in almost 1 round cause he had 3 attacks that did 2 negative energy per swing. So he did 3 touch attacks and 6 negative levels. Next round did the same thing and killed it and because of the other ability of the Soul Eater it raised up as a wight. Now heres the other fun thing. If improved energy stacks together and stacks with Soul Enhancement his stats just went up by 12 for 1 hour and so did his saves and ability checks. Is this correct, cause it kinda sounds broken. Please help, if you know. Thanks

Yes, a character with a high BaB can make multiple touch attacks. If the abilities grant different named bonuses, or one named and one unnamed, they stack. If improved energy drain says it stacks with itself, then it does. Otherwise, feats usually don't stack with themselves. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v91/yawgmoth/kittyjig.gif

So if you have a high enough BAB and can make mulitple touch attacks does that mean that a Cleric can cast harm. Then next round touch someone then bash him with his mace to complete the rest of his BA?

A cleric could cast harm and take a swing, if he held the charge until next round and made a full attack, using harm as one of the attack "weapons". He could not cast and mace in the same round, because full attack is a full round action, casting a spell is a standard action. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v91/yawgmoth/kittyjig.gif
