It might be 0 at 3rd, 1 at 4th. Don't have it in front of me, so that's IIRC. They have Fighter BAB, d10 I think, but only light armor proficiency and no shield proficiences. They gain a couple of different hex and curse abilities, eventually reaching a -6 by 20th level for their curse, and a couple of other 'make life unpleasant for your foes, particularly those within 30'' set of abilities. His familar can appear at 5th, but he's treated as a sorceror of 4 levels lower for it's computation (i.e. 10 level hexblade has the same familiar as a 6th level sorceror). His saves are 6, 12, 6, I believe.   I think the Unfettered are a different design ethic, truthfully. This version of the swashbuckler is clearly meant to be a social character as well as a light fighter, and gets good skill points and a large skill list. They get weapon finesse at 1st level, a special charge abilitiy that allows them to move unhindered over difficult terrain (say, jumping from tabletop to tabletop or swinging from a chandelier) and an ability that is basically the domain ability of the Luck domain, I think. There is a PrC in the book that does give an insight bonus to AC, and I think the intention was that you use a swashbuckler to get there (might have been the new version of Tempest, I can't recall for sure). I don't recall seeing the goofy weapons in the book, but I only skimmed the equipment sections, so it's possible I just missed them. I hope not. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  I don't recall seeing any change to close quarters combat, but there were some feats in there that might account for that.  I skimmed the feats, as many of them were updates to 3.5 from the classbooks, and it was a long day, and I was tired on the train. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
