[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 2461385, member: 1656"] But I can deliver a touch spell with an unarmed strike, making an attack roll against normal AC. Even if DR reduces the damage from my unarmed strike to zero, the spell is still delivered. So again - if the argument is that "Touch attacks are not negated" means "Touch attacks work exactly like any other attack", [i]why bother calling them out specifically[/i]? I could just as well add to the description of DR "Attacks with a battleaxe are not negated"... since even if the [i]damage[/i] is completely blocked, the [i]attack[/i] still takes place. But why would I bother mentioning the battleaxe specifically, when it works [i]exactly the same way as any other weapon[/i]? But the very same sentence clarifies that energy damage and energy drain are not negated, so we already know that energy damage and energy drain [i]dealt by a touch attack[/i] is covered. So why mention touch attacks specifically? There are a few Psionic feats that let your next attack be a touch attack. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
