But then someone expressed interest in playing an MA, and the irony of making a class and then not using it got too much. So now they're in, to fill the light fighter niche more than anything else. I'm resigned to people at high levels doing wire-fu with the aid of magic items anyway, so it's not going to make that much of a difference. And ultimately, I have a weakness for wire-fu stunts; one of these days, I _am_ going to run Exalted....I don't think there'd be a problem with swashbucklers as well, if someone really wanted to play one. The class doesn't pose major conceptual problems with integrating it into the background, like if someone wanted to play a psion or alt.spellcaster, for instance. Multiclassing MA/swashbuckler might be problematic in terms of game balance, but off the cuff, that seems unlikely.</blockquote>
