Starting at 2nd level, a swashbuckler gains one swashbuckler talent. She gains an additional swashbuckler talent for every 2 levels of swashbuckler.

This talent may be taken more than once.</p><p> <em>Fast Movement (Ex):</em> A swashbuckler may gain an enhancement bonus to her speed. She cannot use this ability when wearing medium or heavy armor or when encumbered with medium or heavy loads. She may take this ability multiple times, increasing her speed by 10 ft. each time.</p><p> <em>Feint of the Blade (Ex):</em> A swashbuckler is a master of the blade. With this talent you are able to make a feint as a free action instead of a move action.

A swashbuckler cannot use this ability when wearing medium or heavy armor or when encumbered with medium or heavy loads. Creatures that do not have a weak spot at all, due to their homogenous nature or near indestructible build are immune to this attack (ex. Elementals, oozes and some but not all undead).</p><p> <em>Ledge Walker (Ex):</em> This ability enables the swashbuckler to move along a narrow surface at full speed using Acrobatics without penalty.</p><p> <em>Lucky (Ex):</em> Once per day, a swashbuckler with this ability may reroll a failed attack roll, skill check, ability check, or saving throw. The second roll always overrides the original roll even if the result is worse.</p><p> <em>Masterful Dodge (Ex):</em> A swashbuckler is trained in defense. She gains a +2 dodge bonus to her AC until her next turn.</p><p> <em>Reputation (Ex):</em> A swashbuckler develops a reputation over time. This reputation enables her to intimidate or negociate more effectively. This ability may be chosen multiple times, each time granting a circumstance bonus of +2 to Intimidate and Diplomacy skill checks. This ability may be taken up to three times.</p><p> <em>Resiliency (Ex):</em> Once per day, a swashbuckler with this ability can gain a number of temporary hit points equal to her swashbuckler level. Activating this ability is an immediate action that can only be performed when she is brought below 0 hit points. This ability can be used to prevent her from dying. These temporary hit points last for 1 minute. If the swashbuckler’s hit points drop below 0 due to the loss of these temporary hit points, she falls unconscious and is dying as normal.</p><p> <em>Stand Up (Ex):</em> A swashbuckler with this ability can stand up from a prone position as a free action.

As a full-round action, she may make one melee attack at her highest base attack bonus. At any time before her next turn, she may take an immediate action to make a melee attack using her highest base attack bonus against an opponent that attacks here in melee.</p><p> <em>Crippling Feint (Ex):</em> Following a successful feint, a swashbuckler with this ability can attack opponent with such precision that her blows weaken and hamper them. The opponent damaged by this attack also takes 2 points of Strength damage.

[QUOTE="Guillaume, post: 4144511, member: 8052"] My group is currently playing the Savage Tide AP. We are interested in migrating to the Pathfinder RPG playtest. However, one of my players if very attached to her swashbuckler. I know that the idea of the playtest is to try out the rules as written. On the other hand, I do not want to disappoint my players.
