Wraithstrike & Armour of Fortitude

[Scratched_back]

Hi all,

Just a quicky. This came up when duelling two PCs one against the other, as is seemingly inevitable in that space between sessions.

Basically, if I cast Wraithstrike (Complete Adventurer) and attack somebody with Armour of Fortitude, does the armour's ability still negate critical hits?

Although there's nothing in the immediate text as far as I know to say this, doesn't Wraithstrike transform melee attacks to touch attacks specifically because it bypasses armour?

Your thoughts please.

criticals still negated. Wraithstrike bybasses the AC bonus for armor, not ever single special ability the armor has.

A much simpler question would be, "Can a Brilliant Energy weapon crit someone wearing Armor of Fortification?" The answer, by the RAW, would be no- but I could see it becoming a House Rule. After all, Brilliant Energy sucks every way you look at it, so any sort of a boost would be no skin off my nose (or whatever the saying is).
