===Touch Attacks=== | |||
Some attacks completely disregard armor, including shields and natural armorthe aggressor need only touch a foe for such an attack to take full effect. In these cases, the attacker makes a ''touch attack'' roll (either ranged or melee). When you are the target of a ''touch attack'', your AC doesnt include any armor bonus, shield bonus, or natural armor bonus. All other modifiers, such as your size modifier, Dexterity modifier, and deflection bonus (if any) apply normally. Some creatures have the ability to make [[incorporeal]] ''touch attacks''. These attacks bypass solid objects, such as armor and shields, by passing through them. [[Incorporeal]] ''touch attacks'' work similarly to normal touch attacks except that they also ignore [[Combat#Cover|cover]] bonuses. [[Incorporeal]] ''touch attacks'' do not ignore armor bonuses granted by force effects, such as [[Mage Armor (Spell)]] and bracers of armor. | |||
