I am toying with the idea of playing a Magus in pathfinder (they are basically duskblades), and the class is generally well-suited for me to take it from 1 to 20. But my character concept is a "swashbuckler" who fights with a rapier.
Now, Magi gain at the ability to cast in light armor, medium armor, and eventually heavy armor without interfering with spellcasting. But I don't intend for this guy to be clanking around in full plate -- he's more of a dodgy type. In which case, I'm looking to brew a sort of ACF for the casting ability in medium and heavy armors.
What I'm currently thinking is that you can swap about med. armor casting for a dodge bonus to AC = 1/2 dex mod in light or no armor, and swap heavy armor casting for a dodge bonus to AC = dex mod in light or no armor. Do you think this is a roughly even trade?
