Touch AC armor vs Incorporeal.
So, if you found a way to make your armor / shield apply to touch attacks, incorporeal creatures can still ignore it, yes? Because the rules say nothing about turning their attacks in to touch attacks (even though the follow the typical AC targeting of them). It merely says they ignore armor and shield (and more) bonuses to AC.
I originally took this as spelling out that this is what it means for their attacks to be touch attacks, but looking closer, it never mentions touch attacks at all.

Re: Touch AC armor vs Incorporeal.
If you look at their attacks they're "incorporeal touch"

Re: Touch AC armor vs Incorporeal.
It depends on the method you found; could you be more specific?

Re: Touch AC armor vs Incorporeal.
That question would be most usefully aimed at the author(s) of SoM to divine their intent. Personally I would say that it applies to any touch attack, incorporeal or not, but not to incorporeal attacks that are not described as "touch."

Re: Touch AC armor vs Incorporeal.
The intent is that the world's AC applies to touch AC. 'AC against touch attacks' is the same thing, since AC is irrelevant if an attack roll isn't being made. Ad the author, I do not see a general ambiguity there, just the ambiguity that stems from the incorporeal wording.
Not sure why incorporeal doesnt just say that they make touch attacks. The specific wording of ignoring shields, if it is not called out as a touch attack specifically, would mean it bypasses the shield regardless in my reading.
