Just came across this little one...
Melee Touch attacks are resolves like about any other melee attack, only against a different AC calculation. So far, so good.
Of course this implies that, the stronger you are, the better you are at touching someone. Which is kind of strange... but not part of the question.
Now, to use your nimbleness and precision of movement, you may choose to use your Dex Modifier on light weapons (plus some other ones) instead, with natural weapons counting as 'light' for purposes of the feat.
Am I mis-reading something, or does this imply that (at last via Weapon Finesse) you cannot use your Dex modifier with Melee Touch attacks... unless you happen to have a natural weapon? After all, an unarmed attack is not considered a 'weapon' in the RAW...
It is, Core Rule Book, PG 149, first column, heading Strike, Unarmed, second paragraph.

Page 136 of the CRB, under TWF states: An unarmed strike is always considered light.
To me, it makes sense that Weapon Finesse can be used in this way.

Thanks!
