[QUOTE="Graf, post: 2861602, member: 3087"] A player played a frenzy barbarian (Unearthed Arcana alternate barb)/Swashbuckler in one game… It worked fine in combat. The class has enough MAD (needs high str, dex, con, int) that it would probably take a really gifted twink to do anything bad to your game with it. If you have any familiarity with Samurai, even a little bit, the base class is almost torture. They avoided making a ninja class for a long time and when they did it was fine; there have been like 6 samurai base or PrCs and I’ve yet to see one that seemed to understand what samurai were about (the dual-wielding daisho thing…. I mean… there are samurai movies… they have names like 7 Samurai… you could go watch the movie and then you’d have an idea…) From a mechanical perspective, if you wanted some sort of dual wielding Bastard Sword-SS, slightly better skills getting fighter who yells at people and startles them they’re fine. No idea about the Hexblade… though people talk about how weak they are. [/QUOTE]
