If I can get an answer, would Steel Net from the archetype stack with the Adaptive Tactics ability from Paths of Prestige?
Looking at the bonuses to AC that the Aldori Swordlord can get from Combat Expertise, Defensive Parry, Steel Net, Adaptive Tactics, and fighting defensively (to say nothing of the Dexterity they'll probably have), man, but these guys are hard to hit.

Does the defensive parry for the swordlords stack? I know the PrC swordlord stacks with the fighter archetype, but does the fighter's DP separate from the PrC?
To clarify:
(F) Swordlord, lvl 7 would have a +2 to AC.
If she picks up the PrC version of swordlord, at lvl 3 she would have a +1 for DP.
But that DP stacks with fighter levels, so she's considered a level 10, so a +2 AC instead.
so in total it's a +4 to AC.
Is this logic correct?
