If the 'attack bonus equals level' rule is correct, it seems to me a logical extrapolation from that is that Touch Attacks are going away.

What if I told you Touch AC is still a thing, but Flat-Footed is just a condition that gives you -2 AC.

Well, darn.

I was hoping Touch Attacks would go the way of the dodo.

A more likely resolution of this issue is that touch attack effects are balanced on the premise that they seldom miss and often crit.


I’ve also heard rumors of heavy armor adding a little to your touch AC, plus monsters are no longer confined to PC-style building, so it probably won’t be quite as low as in PF1. We will see, though.

Where did you hear these rumors? It's completely possible that I missed it somewhere. I would like to know more.

Sorry, I’m having trouble remembering where exactly. That’s why I gave it the rumor disclaimer.

Ah, I see. I'm curious to see how monster building is going to look in PF2e then.

Shields add to Touch AC so I imagine Touch AC is more like EAC from SF now, where it's going to be slightly behind AC but not by too much.
