Just a few things that I dug up ...
Incorporeal is now a condition. It has changed quite a bit. Here is the description from page 567.
Incorporeal: Creatures with the incorporeal condition do not have a physical body. Incorporeal creatures are immune to all nonmagical attack forms. Incorporeal creatures take half damage (50%) from magic weapons, spells, spell-like effects, and supernatural effects. Incorporeal creatures take full damage from other incorporeal creatures and effects, as well as all force effects. Incorporeal Undead are also susceptible to any effect that Channels Positive Energy.
Sneak Attack:
I did not find this directly in the book but according to the Conversion Guide, rogue Sneak Attack ability now functions against most constructs, plants, and undead. It does not function against oozes, elementals, and incorporeal undead.
These are other situations that prevent Sneak Attacks:
· Splash Weapons cannot be used to make a Sneak Attack.
· Cannot make Sneak Attacks when Blinded.
· Cannot make Sneak Attack against a foe with Concealment.
· Invisibility prevents Sneak Attacks.
Whether or not a monster is susceptible to Sneak Attack appears to be determined by the creature type. For instance:
Elemental:
Immune to Critical Hits
Immune to Flanking
Immune to Sneak Attacks
Swarm:
Immune to Critical Hits
Immune to Flanking
Elementals appear to be immune while swarms are mostly immune but due to the lack of flank but there might still be situations where a Sneak Attack could occur.
