Here's what I came up with. Let me know if you think it is balanced, what should be changed, etc.Thanks,Tess.---Dodgy DuelistPrerequisites (same): BAB +6, Perform rank 3, Tumble rank 5, Dodge, Mobility, Weapon FinesseHD: d10Skill points at each level: 4 + Int modifierBAB: +1/levelSaves: poor Fort, good Ref, poor WillDuelist levels stack with any other classes that have Uncanny Dodge. Must be wearing no armor to use Canny Defense, but you can use a shield that doesn't give an armor check penalty (e.g. Buckler, Masterwork Light Shield, Mithril Heavy Shield).Abilities:---------- 1 Sneak Attack +1d6, Uncanny Dodge 2 Canny Defense (+1 AC up to INT bonus limit) 3 Enhanced Mobility 4 Sneak Attack +1d6, Canny Defense (+2 AC up to INT bonus limit) 5 Improved Uncanny Dodge 6 Acrobatic Charge, Canny Defense (+3 AC up to INT bonus limit) 7 Sneak Attack +1d6 8 Deflect Arrows, Canny Defense (+4 AC up to INT bonus limit) 9 Elaborate Parry10 Sneak Attack +1d6, Canny Defense (+5 AC up to INT bonus limit)Notes: the Canny Defense bonus doesn't stack, its a total of +5 AC at level 10, if you have 20 Intelligence.4d6 of Sneak Attack may be a bit powerful, but comparing this to 10 levels in Rogue, it doesn't seem so.So criticisms please ... <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>
