True Strike is giving a better bonus than any melee touch ability.2) This SAME book also has a level 2 sorc/wiz spell called Scintillating Scales, which for min/level causes the caster's natural AC to count towards his touch AC!  And you know, dragons have a tendency to both have huge natural armor and sorcerer spellcasting...  Just saying.</blockquote>
