[QUOTE="Connorsrpg, post: 6396935, member: 19265"] So true re Kensai (as I think it first appeared in an OA ;)). Whatever the historical significance on the term, I still just LOVED the class that has been traditional to D&D. (It is not like D&D to mess with actual meanings of words, right? Gorgon ;)). Just saying, I like the class - It has always been a fav. Even if you took the actual Weapon Expert part. D&D 5E doesn't really do that right now. A member of our group also added to the BG idea I so briefly put. What I was getting at, was don't archetypes mostly have actual rules, modifiers, etc. BGs have those RP-only features. You have included them here and it seems to overlap with BGs. Other member of our group made it clearer. These archetypes seem to many and cover the same space. Isn't it really BG that separates a Gallant or Corsair from other Swashbucklers? ie: Noble and the sailor one? Meaning, what BGs would these guys take if BG is baked into archetype? If an archetype doesn't mix well with several BGs, then I am not sure it needs its own archetype. I mean what BGs would a Gallant take? It is pretty clear really. He already has BG according to your write-up. I reckon you could merge a few archetypes, and differentiate them with BGs basically. :) (Even though I love the fluff and ideas here). [/QUOTE]
