There is so much wrong here it's not even funny.First, you can't power attack for more than your BAB, yet you have 13 extra damage from power attack for a character with 9 BAB.Second, making a flurry of attacks and hoping for a 20 to hit is inferior to hitting consistently, ie, more than 5% of the time. Come on, are you listening to yourself here? "That could be a hit every other round?" Those are pretty low standards to aspire to. You don't even deal that much damage per hit either.Third, your Swashbucler6/Duelist3 has +3 to AC from Int. This is not impressive at level 9. At all. Four, your character now has to pump Dex, Int, and Con, possibly Str as well in order to have AC, HP, and deal damage. This seems like a poor idea.Five, you have forgotten to mention that Bracers of Armor only give +8 armor (while regular armor can give more AC), can't be enchanted with special abilities, and are incredibly expensive.I don't think your claims about the Duelist prestige class hold up when people start crunching numbers. You'll excuse me if I go along with those who recommend Dervish.If you want to start proving your position, make a character or something and give him actual equipment and we'll see what AC he has, and whether that's enough for fighting CR appropriate encounters.</blockquote>
