01-24-07, 11:09 PM Do the Bracers of Armor apply to touch attacks?
What about the Amulet of Natural Armor?

I think the rules don't specify, which means no, but do you think they should?

01-24-07, 11:12 PM Armor and Natural Armor bonuses do not apply to Touch AC, and there's no reason why they should. That's the point of Touch AC.

01-24-07, 11:16 PM Touch attacks ignore armor, shield, and natural armor bonuses to AC.

Bracers provide an armor bonus to AC so they do not apply to touch attacks, with the exception of incorporeal touch attacks since it is a force effect.

The amulet does not apply either since it only increases the natural armor bonus.
