In the GameMastery Guide, page 264, the pickpocket has a +1 armor bonus and a +3 Dex bonus, which I think should give him a touch AC of 13 and a flat-footed AC of 11. Yet the book says "touch 12, flat-footed 12". Am I missing something?
Never mind. I've just discovered the correction in the errata thread. It also pointed out the business of adding trapfinding to Disable Device.
