Telekinetic Fist vs Acid Splash

[Dixon Sider]

I see a lot of people say acid splash should be on auto attack for Octavia, but Telekinetic Fist seems like a direct upgrade. Is there a reason to use Acid Splash instead?

[Pink Eye]

It does acid damage, which is good for some monsters. Outside of that, I dunno.

Because its limited?

The telekinetic fist deals 1d4 points of bludgeoning damage + 1 for every two wizard levels you possess. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier

Ya I was just wondering if there was some hidden reason to use acid splash over telekinetic fist. I have been using it until it runs out, then swapping to acid splash

Does the fist count as a ranged touch attack or get the sneak attack dice?

There's no hidden reason. Acid splash is just an unlimited use ranged touch spell that gets sneak attack dice. It serves as her 'auto attack' for when you're not specifically telling her to cast something else.

And since its acid it gets the added benefit of doing killing attacks on trolls without any input from you.

That’s the joke. Fist is underrated, as are wands (the necro one is decent too). As you note, cantrips don’t scale and they don’t have side effects.
