(Note: The elven courtblade is treated as an estoc for this ability)</p><p><strong>Single Sword Fencing Style - Penetrating Thrust (Ex)</strong> Ariael has learned the art of finding chinks in his opponents’ armor. When using a rapier, saber, or estoc, she may ignore a number of points of armor or natural armor on any opponent equal to his Intelligence or Wisdom bonus, whichever is higher. In this case, she may subtract 2 points. (Note: The elven courtblade is treated as an estoc for this ability)</p><p><strong>Lunging Thrust (Ex)</strong> As a standard action, Ariael may perform a lunging thrust with the rapier, saber, or estoc. Ariael can target an opponent up to 5 feet beyond his normal reach with lunging thrust (although she does not actually threaten creatures beyond his normal reach), and if she successfully strikes the target, she deals double damage. However, the lunging thrust is a fairly reckless attack, and Ariael suffers a –4 penalty to AC until the start of her next turn. (Note: The elven courtblade is treated as an estoc for this ability)</p><p><strong>Single Sword Fencing Style Expertise - Grappling Thrust (Ex)</strong> Ariael can initiate a special type of grapple that leaves her weapon lodged in his opponent. To initiate a grappling thrust, Ariael must successfully strike her opponent in melee with a rapier, saber, or estoc. If the attack is successful, she deals normal damage and can attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If Ariael wins the grapple check, she has established a hold, and has lodged his weapon in her opponent’s body. Ariael can then inflict full weapon damage each round she maintains the hold (she doesn’t need to establish a pin) with a successful grapple check. If the opponent breaks the hold, the grapple ends, and Ariael’s weapon is forced from the target’s body.</p><p><strong>Sudden Riposte (Ex)</strong> Once per round, as an immediate action, Ariael can make a single melee attack against an opponent that misses her with a melee attack, provided she can reach the opponent. Sudden riposte can only be used with a weapon that works with the Weapon Finesse feat.</p><p><strong>Single Sword Fencing Style Mastery – Rapid Thrust (Ex)</strong> At 5th level, Ariael that has chosen the single-sword style can make a single extra attack with a rapier, saber, or estoc when using the full attack action. This extra attack is at her full attack bonus; however, when using rapid thrust she suffers a –2 penalty to all attacks in the round.</p><p><strong>Improved Sneak Attack (Ex)</strong> Ariael increases the damage die for sneak attacks from 1d6 to 1d8.</p><p><strong>Improved Finesse (Ex)</strong> Ariael can used the Weapon Finesse feat with any one-handed weapon, in addition to light weapons, applying her Dexterity modifier instead of her Strength modifier to attack rolls.</p><p><strong>Master Finesse (Ex)</strong> Ariael adds 1.5 times her Dexterity modifier (round down) to attack rolls with all light and one-handed weapons (including natural weapons).</p><p><strong>Scoundrel’s Luck (Su)</strong> Ariael receives a luck bonus to all saving throws equal to her Intelligence bonus (if positive).</p><p><strong>Roguish Reflexes (Ex)</strong> Ariael adds 1.5 times her Dexterity modifier (round down) to her initiative modifier.</p><p><strong>Scoundrel’s Speed (Ex)</strong> Ariael receives double her Dexterity bonus in feet to her base land speed, round up or down to the nearest 5-foot increment.</p><p></p><p><strong>Stats Bonuses</strong></p><p><em>Base elite stats</em>: Str 12 Dex 15 Con 13 Int 14 Wis 10 Cha 8</p><p><em>After race & template modifiers</em>: Str 12 Dex 21 Con 11 Int 16 Wis 10 Cha 8</p><p></p><p><em>Inherent Bonuses allotment per level and magic items</em></p><p>4th: Dex +1 (22)</p><p>8th: Dex +1 (23)</p><p>11th: Dex +6 (29) = Gloves of Dexterity +6</p><p>12th: Dex +1 (30)</p><p>15th: Str +6 (18) = Belt of Giant Strength +6</p><p>15th: Con +6 (17) = Amulet of Health +6</p><p>16th: Dex +1 (31)</p><p>20th: Dex +1 (32)</p><p></p><p><em>Final stats at 20th level</em>: Str 18 Dex 32 Con 17 Int 14 Wis 10 Cha 8</p><p></p><p><strong>Class levels arrangement</strong></p><p>Rogue 1</p><p>Rogue 2</p><p>Rogue 3</p><p>Rogue 4</p><p>Rogue 5</p><p>Swashbuckler 1</p><p>Swashbuckler 2</p><p>Swashbuckler 3</p><p>Swashbuckler 4</p><p>Swashbuckler 5</p><p>Swashbuckler 6</p><p>Swashbuckler 7</p><p>Swashbuckler 8</p><p>Swashbuckler 9</p><p>Swashbuckler 10</p><p>Escrimeur 1</p><p>Escrimeur 2</p><p>Escrimeur 3</p><p>Escrimeur 4</p><p>Escrimeur 5</p><p></p><p><strong>Feats</strong></p><p>1st: Martial Proficiency (longsword, rapier, [composite] longbow, [composite] shortbow) (bonus: elf)</p><p>1st: Weapon Finesse (bonus: roguish template)</p><p>1st: Weapon Familiarity (elven weapons)</p><p>3rd: Weapon Focus (elven courtblade)</p><p>6th: Combat Reflexes</p><p>9th: Daring Outlaw</p><p>12th: Improved Combat Reflexes (Dragon Magazine #340 pp 87)</p><p>15th: Telling Blow</p><p>17th: Improved Critical (elven courtblade) (bonus: escrimeur)</p><p>18th: Greater Combat Reflexes (Dragon Magazine #340 pp 87)</p><p>19th: Robilar’s Gambit (bonus: escrimeur)</p><p></p><p><strong>Possessions</strong></p><p>760,000 gp (base 20th)</p><p>- 110,000 gp: Robe of Arcane Might with +4 resistance bonus on saves (conjuration) (Eberron’s Explorer’s Handbook pp 153)</p><p>- 125,000 gp: Tunic of Thurrinak (Eberron’s Explorer’s Handbook pp 157)</p><p>- 98,450 gp: +5 speed elven courtblade (Races of the Wild pp 165)</p><p>- 50,400 gp: +5 elven thinblade (Races of the Wild pp 165)</p><p>- 50,350 gp: +5 elven lightblade (Races of the Wild pp 165)</p><p>- 73,300 gp: +5 distance elven double bow (Arm & Equipment Guide pp 7)</p><p>- 54,000 gp: Wings of Flying</p><p>- 36,000 gp: Gloves of Dexterity +6</p><p>- 36,000 gp: Belt of Giant Strength +6</p><p>- 36,000 gp: Amulet of Health +6</p><p>- 10,000 gp: Bracers of Mighty Blows (Blackdirge’s Axe Reaver Supplement)</p><p>- 5,500 gp: Boots of Striding and Springing</p><p>- 3,750 gp: 5 potions of <em>Cure Serious Wounds</em></p><p>= 71,250 gp remaining</p><p></p><p>Well, what do you think ?
