Disconnect between stat blocks and some abilities

[Bill Muench]

That's one of the things I despite about the new statblock format. Also the fact that they got rid of Atk vs. Full Atk, and a few other bits. I'm still using the old format for most of my work, except when I'm told I have to use the new format (for Mark of Heroes, for example).

Is that the record?

Here's a good spell: Wraithstrike. (Complete Adventurer). While it is in effect, your melee attacks are treated as melee touch attacks. That's great. No extra info needed, as the current stat blocks have touch ACs.

Here's a bad feat: Deft Strike. (Complete Adventurer). You can make an attack that ignores natural armour bonuses and armour bonuses to AC. That's a problem - they're not listed in the stat block.

Stupid Question isnt that pretty much touch attack anyway? I'm probably missing something obvious.

Touch attacks also ignore the shield bonus. That's about the only thing I could think of.

Oh, I always considered that an armor bonus just a special case where it stacked.

I believe that's the way it worked in 3E, but in 3.5E, they made them separate.

There's been at least one call to have Azar's entire post removed. We left it there, and I want to put some explanation.

First, it's flat out rude toward MerricB, and we acknowledge that. However, Morrus quoted the text in his post mentioning that Azar received a ban. I think it serves an instructional purpose, then, leaving it as it is. It is clearly not an endorsement from the moderators or Morrus to participate in that type of behavior.
