Steel wall and defensive parry do they stack?
Aldori dueling mastery does that stack with either or both of these as well for ac?
Finally does using combat expertise stack with either of these as well?


You mean steel net? That would stack with defensive parry, they're untyped bonuses, those stack.

The bonus from ADM is a shield bonus if I remember right, so it would also stack.

If you want to take the penalty from combat ex and fighting defensively then yeah, that would stack with the others too.

I did actually mean steel net i didnt have a book in front of me.Thanks.


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?
