Touch attack, str penalties?

Per RAW, touch attacks that are melee attacks still take STR penalties. That always annoyed me when building wizards - but look on the bright side! Things like Arcane Strike should work with melee touch attacks.

Say I have a strength of 3 and a BAB of +6. If I'm making a touch attack, is it at +3 or +6?

The touch attack is at +2. (Strength 3 gives a -4 penalty).

Yes, most casters with low strength should either avoid spells that require melee touch attacks, or use the Spectral Hand spell.
