I know Bigby 8 and I think some other spells are effected by the targets conceal so the question is does Blind Fight and or Listen improve those spells?

caster listen does not help the conceal reduction from damage spells like BB8.

Listen and Blindfight do not increase damage on BB8 and orbs, but effects that lower the target's conceal (MSD and ranger Invisibility Purge) do.

Just wandering since my Wiz like most has high INT and an abundance of skill points to dump. It was a thought of a place to dump them. I also wonder if this is a feasible change and worth while to enable build investments to improve those spells. I could see it being particularly useful for BKs who are a melee fighter who might invest in Listen and they are Bigby specialist. It gives a Wiz something to invest skill points in since they tend to have so many.

But Listen affects touch spells, right? Like harm and detonate?

Yes, it does affect things like combust, harm and detonate. No it does not affect orbs or Bigby 8,

Were,
I believe Harm is a full blown "touch attack" (http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Harm). There are a number of other spells that are described as a psuedo-touch attack in HG documentation. Are these all the same and listen matters, or are there 2 different categories?

Pseudo touch attacks (I can't recall which spells fall into this category, but quite a few shifter abilities do) are the same as touch attacks (or ranged touch attacks for most shifter stuff) but conceal is neglected, so listen/blindfight doesn't influence them.

Sounding like very few spells currently benefit from listen and I can't recall how difficult or easy a touch attack, or pseudo-touch attack is to make in HG particularly end game.
