Although I am not sure if this is a bug or not, I have noticed a high miss rate on some spells that are "Touch" based spells like Polar Ray (over 50% miss rate against players.) It seems odd to me that I have such a noticeable difference between my weapon hit rate and Polar Ray. If anything I should be hitting a lot more with the spell than with a sword as a Wizard.
All touch attack spells should be ignoring Armor,shields and natural armor. To me, something seems off.
...When you are the target of a touch attack, your AC doesn’t include any armor bonus, shield bonus, or natural armor bonus. All other modifiers, such as your size modifier, Dexterity modifier, and deflection bonus (if any) apply normally.

Seek ye defeat? Ye shall most certainly find it.
Seek ye nothing? Then all ye can find is victory.
