Can Player use Third Hand perk to cast touch spells?

[Mavelic]

Hi,
I'd say no, because a perk is too limited in effect to allow this kind of power.
Basic p.100 says :
"No perk should provide wealth, social standing, or combat bonuses."
For me, it's clearly a combat bonus or very similar.
My thoughts.

Those are more what you'd call... guidelines. The latter two have been broken, and arguably so has the first one - Cheaper (Gear) lets your Wealth go further, things like Brotherhood, Citizen (for citizenships beyond the free one every character gets in their home country), and Courtesy Rank grant social standing, and there's an entire class of Combat Perks. See Powerups 2: Perks for details.
