[QUOTE="Ace, post: 721516, member: 944"] Swashbuckling Adventures is balanced with itself. We used it in a low magic Pyrate game with mixed results, I had a Sorcerer with the Unarmoured defense feat and found it made him rather tough. Also we had one of those two rapier style (I can't rmember the style name) guys in the group and he was a combat monster. The style wasn't to bad but the DM was al ittle generous with the +x items However if you limit the number of magic items given out it should be fine Lets say you have unarmoured defense, don't give out +4 AC Bracers until the charcter hits high level. The same advice goes for magic weapons In most D&D a +2 shocking weapon or a +6 AC set of Bracers is no big deal is no big deal. ] Combined with a few of the weapons styles is SWASHBADV, look out However Ravenloft items are usually not flashy. Stuff like an amulet that cast Magic Circle Against Evil once per day isn't unbalancing combined with the SWASHBADV feats Sice Ravenloft items aren't flashy and there are less of them it should be a good fit I hope you wil let us know about your results I was thinking of trying the same thing actually [/QUOTE]
