Since the creature can see some of you (or know you're hiding behind the cover) it should get a normal attack compared to your AC including the cover bonus. If the attack roll is enough to hit you then it hits, cause he got a piece of you that wasn't behind cover. If the creature misses you but rolls well enough to hit the cover, it's attack passes through and may hit you. Since the creature cannot see the piece of you that it's hitting, it should have a 50% miss chance as you have full concealment.eg: PC with touch AC 15 has 3/4 cover from a tower shield, giving a total AC of 22 vs a shadow.Shadow attacks, hits AC 23, normal attack with no miss chance.Shadow attacks, hits AC 21. Comparing to the PC's AC, it missed by less than 7 so it struck cover. Since the incorp ignores cover it means that it passes through the tower shield and resolves it's attack against the protected portion of your body, as it hit better than AC 15. It can't see this portion, so now roll 50% miss chance for full concealment.If the PC took full cover behind the shield, the shadow would simply roll a regular touch attack against his touch AC 15 (no cover bonus) with full concealment, giving a 50% miss chance.I really think its consistent and the best way to handle an unusual situation within the rules.</blockquote>
