Ways to have a touch AC Weapon

[Ray-gun]

Hi All,
Mainly I was thinking of spells like Flame Blade, that makes a weapon that attacks touch AC. I know the brilliant enchantment can do it too. Also I know guns can do it.

Are there other spells or ways I am not thinking of?

Thanks All
Ray

If you don't mind going psionics, look at the Pyrokineticist's Fire Lash class feature.

Interesting, What is the nameof the Psionics manual? Is Psionics in a Paizo book? Some of the folks I game with have a poor view of psionics.

Thanks for the info.

No, the current psionics books are from dreamscared press, but they are not bad, imo.

Magus can manage it with any weapon, but only for a limited number of uses/day.

Brilliant is not a true touch AC attack. Natural armor is still effective.
The argument could also be made that brilliant does not ignore force effects.

Well the magus has to use a touch attack, so he's not doing it with any weapon. If he attacks with his weapon via spellstrike, he's no longer attacking touch AC. If he casts using spell combat, his spell is touch but his other hand with the weapon remains a regular attack.

I think the Magus has some Arcana ability to attack touch AC. Is that what you meant, Artanthos?

I believe he means this.

Benefit: The magus can expend 2 points from his arcane pool as a swift action to resolve all of his melee weapon attacks until the end of his turn as melee touch attacks.

well at level NINE.... Made it sound like it was a regular thing not a 9th level arcana

[Artanthos]

Most everything has a minimum level before it becomes an option. Realistically, how early is a character going to have access to a Brilliant weapon.

Flame blade only requires 3rd level, but you can't apply strength mods to damage.

I cannot comment on psionics.

Additionally, you've got the Magus mechanics wrong. It's perfectly legal to cast a touch spell via Spell Combat and still deliver it via free action melee attack.

If you don't mind ranged attacks, guns are the obvious choice yea... but remember that thrown splash weapons (alchemist bombs) target touch AC as well.
