So to be upfront I am completely dumbfounded by my GM’s call.

The Oracle’s sidestep secret says that it replaces your Dex with your Cha when calculating AC.

My GM has ruled that the Cha modifier does NOT count towards my touch AC...because this would have been specifically mentioned on the ability if they intended for it to be that way.

My argument is that he is completely not getting how AC works in that touch and flat footed ACs are based off of AC, with touch being a condition that makes you lose your armor bonuses and flat footed a condition that makes you lose your Dex bonus.

I told him that I would accept his ruling since he is GM, but that he is wrong.

He says that if I can get a rules person from Paizo to say that (what I have argued) is correct, that he will then accept that’s how it works.

Again, seems really obvious to me and I’m dumbfounded by his call.

Any chance a rules person would take the time to respond to this?

Thank you much,
Pathfinder for life!

So I’m playing the Heel.

Anyone have any cool ideas of things I can do?

I am currently 2nd level (kinda 3rd since we got a 0 level)

Both levels have been taken as Paladin (Holy Gun)

I am wanting to multi class and here is what I am thinking:

3rd level - Ranger (Divine Marksman)

4th level - Gunslinger (Buccaneer)

5th level - Gunslinger (Buccaneer)

So my character is a gun user. I am focusing on ranged attacks but I am also the main fighting type in the group (me plus a cleric, rogue and sorcerer)

The ranger gives me medium armor back that I lost with holy gun, and also gives me +1 bab which I am wanting to keep each level. Also that archetype gives a feat at first level that gives me a +4 to hit with ranged for spending a move action.

The Buccaneer is to open up my grit points...so my 0 level gave me a ki pool (the gm allowed me to use a feat to get the ninja trick forgotten trick basically giving me 2 ninja tricks per day) and my gm allowed me to draw from it for either ki or grit (my grit from holy gun would have only been 1).The buccaneer would separate the pools and I'd have both a ki and grit pool. Also that archetype gives a cool ability at second level to drink as a move action and get +4 on the next d20 roll.

I plan on taking fighter levels as well in the future.

I also plan on riding a mount...a fighter archetype gives both mounted combat and skill focus ride at first level.

Do my plans sound decent? Would other options in the next few levels be better?

I plan on taking deadly aim for my 3rd level feat and then vital strike at 5th.

Any suggestions, opinions or comments are welcome. Thank you.
