Alright, I was reading the Grimoir thing and I didn't notice the rules on Touch Attacks, and I dont own my own D&D books.

So now I ask you:

How do they work? What do they ignore? If I remember correctly a Melee Touch Attack Ignores Shield Modiefier, Armour Modifier and... what? Does it ignore Natural Armour? Deflection Bonus? Dodge? Monk-Wisdom AC?

Please tell.

Armor, Shield and Natural. All else applies.

Wha... I always thought that monk AC was classified as "Other", and as such would be kept in a situation like this. Combat debugging clearly shows it as Natural AC. It is different from the AC you get from an ammy, cause the latter is considered "Effect AC Natural Bonus". That is, Monk's AC is the same as Armor Skin AC and both gets disregarded by touch attacks. Try out casting harm on a Prismatic Dragon (10 base +62 Natural AC +15 Deflection -2 Size IIRC) and you'll see you will hit it with ease.

PS: RDD and PM Armor Class is Natural AC also, by the way.

Cheers,
Kail

*rubs hands together in an evil way* Then my Paladin/Cleric/Rogue will be very good indeed... MWAHAHAHAHA!

By the way... that build is currently under construction and if anyone has advice for it please check the Build Request Forum, thanks. Alright Kail, I'll take your word for it. I was just regurgitating NWNWiki, but if you've tested it, then it's much more believable.

Danke!
