I used CBM 1.6 by the way.
I ran a test against agarthans (def 7) Results for leaching touch: 10hits 6misses. They never missed with hand of death (6 hits) and sleep touch (4hits) It looks like some of the touch spells always hits (hand of death) while some (leaching touch and poison touch) obviously miss sometimes. As to what determines if they miss I have no idea; mirror image, shields, the number of size points in a square, attack and defence skill all seem to have no effect.
Interesting sidenote: sleep touch has a penetration penalty of -1.

Yes, I was really scared of star fire before I saw the actual results
Abyssia used it against me and managed to hit twice, but most times it missed even though the square was hit. I've heard that all singe target, non precision 100, spells can be shield parried. I don't know if they can miss by hitting an empty area of the square. That would be good to test unless the vets already know the answer
Speaking of veterans, if any these mechanics are common knowledge please say so and save us some pointless tests
Sorry for hijacking your thread earwicker, but we found an interesting question
