Any creature touched by a sorcerer’s unarmed touch attack while death touch is active dies instantly. A target is entitled to attempt a Fortitude saving throw to resist the effect. If successful, he is instead stunned for one round. Each sorcerer or sect has its own variant of this spell, differing only in the details. The Games Master and players are encouraged to devise their own ‘signature’ effects when casting death touch.

Optional Material Components:
The caster may use a nail from a crucified humanoid as a material spell component. If he does so, the DC for the Fortitude saving throw increases by 5.
