Shockwave strike allows you to use a bludgeoning melee weapon to attack a foe beyond the range of normal melee weapons. This attack is accomplished by striking the earth with a bludgeoning weapon and transmitting the force of the blow along the ground to the feet of your opponent. Upon completing the spell, the caster makes a ranged touch attack roll against a target within range. If the attack hits, damage is determined as if the blow were a normal melee attack, except that the blow cannot score a critical hit, deliver a coup de grace, or transmit any special effects of the caster's strike (such as the disruption power of some magical weapons). In addition to taking damage, the target must make a successful Reflex save or be knocked prone.

The force of a shockwave strike cannot drop or climb a vertical surface. Range is calculated in a straight line along the ground, so it can be shortened by uneven terrain.
