Bracers of Armouring...

The description states armour bonus, but states force...

So yes or no to touch ac ?

That's all you need to know.
Unless it's stated otherwise, it's a "no" to touch AC.

12-07-06, 03:52 AM RAW it is correct.

the reason for the post wasn't that I wanted to know, its that I wanted other people to post to shut my player up. :)

His argument was that it said force so it should work against touch, I said its an armour bonus and not luck or deflection or dodge.
