Message: <blockquote data-quote="Caliban" data-source="post: 413644" data-attributes="member: 284">A common misconception. A touch attack ignores armor and natural armor bonuses.   Anything else still applies. Yes, but we are talking about incorporeal touch attacks here, not a normal touch attack. *shrug* Then get better glasses. See, if it was just a touch attack, it would just be denoted as a touch attack.   If it's an incorporeal touch attack,  then it's not a normal touch attack.   Pretty simple. Apparently you don't.   It's actually an incorporeal touch attack.    Normal touch attacks ignore all armor, but incorporeal attacks don't ignore force armor.  With bracers on normal touch attacks hit you easier than incorporeal touch attacks.   Incorporeal touch attacks aren't as effective an normal touch attacks. Incorporeal allows a physical attack to ignore armor when it normally can't, by making it an incorporeal touch attack.   It just doesn't penetrate force armor any better than it did before.Force armor is more effective against incorporeal touch attacks than normal touch attcks.   If the corporeal attack is not a touch attack, force armor is just as effective as real armor. If it is an incorporeal attack, force armor is more effective than normal armor, because incorporeal creatures/attacks have a specific weakness against Force effects.If it is a normal touch attack, then force armor is just as effective as normal armor. You really don't get it do you?  *sigh*   You won't find any incorporeal creatures with a slam attack, because they have no Str and no material form to damage you with (that's kind of what "incorporeal" means, you know).   The only way they can hurt you is by casting spells, using a ghost touch weapon, or doing a level or ability drain.</blockquote>
