Question
The cure wounds spells, and most healing spells, have a range of touch and a target of creature touched. Do you have to actually succeed on a touch attack roll to heal an ally?
Reason for Concern
We have come across this issue and have no idea what the solution is. We lost our healer and now the bard is our primary healer. The original healer was a wererat with a high Str and made even higher when he went into rat form thus making it easy to make a touch attack, so it was never an issue before.
But the bard is based primarily in Dex and has a Str mod of −2, so it has now become a real issue to heal party members. The bard had healing spells the whole time but only needed to heal outside of battle (because to heal in battle bard must stop their songs and lose a point from their songs a day).
