I've been rooting around the different SR5 threads, but have not yet found any answers to the questions I have about Touch Range spells.
SR5, pg 282 has this to say:
"Some spells require you to Touch (T) the target—if the target is unwilling, you’ll need to make an unarmed attack against the target."
So here are my questions:
1.) Can you make the unarmed touch attack as part of the same complex action you use to cast the spell?
2.) If not, how many combat turns do you have before the spell dissipates?
3.) In either case, what happens if you miss with the touch attack? Can you make another on your next action phase, or is the spell just gone?
If these answers are somewhere in the SR5 book, I haven't found them yet. A simple page number would help if you guys and girls know where the answer lies.
Thanks in advance.
