Talk:Touch attack
From NWNWiki
Q: While TOUCH ATTACK ignores Natural Armour bonuses (boni?), does it also ignore "natural" armour from Pale Master and RDD levels and/or the ARMOUR SKIN feat?
- Well if it's >natural< armor, that means that it is >natural< armor.. regardless of where you got it from -- Txzeenath
- Are you sure about that? I know that PM, RDD and Armor Skin provide natural armor that stacks with other sources, when natural armor isn't supposed to stack, so it's questionable about which other rules it doesn't quite follow. --Defunc7 05:19, 15 April 2006 (PDT)
- The misunderstanding comes from classifying Natural Armor Enhancements (which the engine calls Effect Bonus Natural Armor AC) as Natural Armor only. Monk's AC (from WIS and from Monk lvls), RDD Draconic Armor AC, PM Bone Skin AC are all Natural Armor and are disregarded by touch attacks. Natural Armor AC is stackable and uncapped (eg a Prismatic Dragon has +62 Natural Armor AC) while it is Effect Bonus Natural Armor AC (Natural Armor Enhancements for ease) to be unstackable and capped (the boni to AC coming from Ammys and Barkskin eg). I hope this makes it clear. Kail Pendragon 05:16, 6 June 2006 (PDT)
I've seen some evidence that attackers do not use their normal attack modifiers. Has anyone witnessed a touch attack using more than base attack + relevant ability bonus? --The Krit 23:39, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
It should be noted that touch attack ignores immunity to critical hits and on a critical hit the confirm roll is the same as the main roll (only a high AC can resist a critical hit touch attack if a 20 is rolled). WhiZard 00:52, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
