[QUOTE="Aeric, post: 3406032, member: 17012"] For me, Fighter/swashbuckler/scout worked as a nice alternative to the duellist PrC. For one thing, you can still wear armor; even with a high Int, by the time you get enough levels to get the full bonus from Canny Defense, you will in all likelihood have a set of light armor that gives the same if not better AC bonus. If Canny Defense stacked with armor, it would be worth taking. If it was the 3.0 version where you got your full Int bonus at first level, you could at least cherry-pick. There's a lot of overlap with swashbuckler in terms of class abilities, so IMHO, duellist is inferior to swashbuckler. My build for the aforementioned character focused on the spring attack feat tree. Scout added to my movement rate, AC while moving, and of course the skirmish damage. Max ranks in Tumble meant that even in those rare instances where I couldn't simply jump in, stab, and jump back out, the enemy would be hard-pressed to AoO me. [/QUOTE]
