So, thinking of ways to improve a witch's survivability without the expense of also killing her familiar, I was taking a look at longarm bracers. Some relevant text:
Her weapon attack rolls take a –4 penalty, while unarmed strikes and natural weapons using the arms take no penalty.
So what about touch attacks made to deliver a spell? Yes, I know that you are considered armed when holding the charge from a touch attack, but that doesn't entirely answer the question...
You are 'armed' when you have natural weapons or improved unarmed strike too, so holding a charge making you armed is not relevant.
The distinction seems to be between 'manufactured weapons' and other attacks, so a touch spell would not take a penalty.
