===Touch Attacks===
Some attacks completely disregard armor, including natural armor — the aggressor need only touch a foe for such an attack to take full effect. In these cases, the attacker makes a touch attack roll. The to-hit for a melee touch attack is calculated the same as a [[#Melee Attack Bonus|Melee Attack]].  As a result, touch attacks tend to hit much more frequently than regular attacks.
Some attacks need only touch a foe for such an attack to take full effect. In these cases, the attacker makes a touch attack roll. The to-hit for a melee touch attack is calculated the same as a [[#Melee Attack Bonus|Melee Attack]] except that it receives a +4 bonus, and furthermore, always hits the target if the roll on the die is a 16 or better.  As a result, touch attacks tend to hit much more frequently than regular attacks.
 
::<small>'''Disambiguation:''' Touch AC does not exist in Epic Path.  Touch attacks are resolved against normal Armor Class, but with the bonuses described above.
