Maumelle Duelist, homebrew world prestige class

First Post
Maumelle Duelists originate from the wealthy merchant town of Maumelle. The town itself is prides itself on it's low ammount of crime (which is actually just orginized crime or members of the well hidden thieves' guild). Disagreements are settled w/ a formal duel, which is where the locals excell. These duels are settled when first blood is drawn, when one of the duelists concede, or when one dies. The duelists choose upon this before the duel begins.

This one of two of my home-brew prestige classes I've created for my world. I'd like some feedback on it and perhaps ways that it could be improved, it has had a good bit of playtesting in my campaign though, and doesn't feel all that unbalanced.

If anyone would want to help me w/ a nice introduction for the class as well I'd REALLY appreciate it. For a lil' more background, Maumelle is in a cold climate (think alaska), but is kept alive b/c it is half-way along a major trade route to the city of Turse. And I gave some of the other info on it in my own meager introduction.

It's interesting, if a bit short. Though since it's a localized, I assume specific type of dueling style there's nothing wrong with that. None of the abilities are unbalancing either, though I want to ask why the INT modifier is always used - are they supposed to be particuraly intelligent?
