[QUOTE="Connorsrpg, post: 6693365, member: 19265"] [MENTION=57845]AverageCitizen[/MENTION]. Oh, you are so right. ;) That is why I had to put these out there individually. On its own there is nothing to enforce this is there? Thanks for picking up. Further clarification. On our Fighter Page, I have a feature called Canny Defense that allows you to add Intelligence to AC (like other Unarmed Defenses). That feature got most of the attention initially and I don't think many people read further, hence the separate threads for each archetype. So, this mechanic is likely to be taken by Duelists, but is not necessary, and therefore currently (as you pointed out), there is not much limiting armor, other that using the Deft technique. What do people think. Should Deulist maneuvers be restricted somewhat? egs: when in heavy armor you: 1. Cannot perform duelist maneuvers. 2. Suffer disadvantage on duelist maneuvers 3. Do not get to add Proficiency bonus. 4. Or just single out some maneuvers like Deft above? Others would certainly include Elusive, Daring-Do, Difficult Target. I think you are right - there needs to be something to support this idea. I don't want to go too far, as I picture many swashbuckler types with breatplates etc. There is also the the fact that many techniques require light/finesse weapons. Not many fighters that use finesse weapons deck themselves in heavy armor (as they lose Dex bonus to AC obviously). OR Do, I simply need to reword that phrase referring to lightly armored. And/or expand to state it is more about being a weapon expert. [/QUOTE]
