[QUOTE="CCamfield, post: 1036190, member: 8123"] I just want to say that this is a very flavourful swashbuckler and I'd be interested in seeing the end result. The repartee rules look pretty cool but I have a couple of comments: - for Enrage, why not inflict a -2 Dex penalty rather than -1 to AC? This is in line with the barbarian rage, but would more fully simulate someone becoming clumsier when angry... which fits the swashbuckler genre very well - the mass abilities seem VERY powerful. Not only are your number of uses increasing per day (1/level) but the targets you affect increases at the same rate. So while a level 1 swashbuckler can affect 1 character per day, a level 20 swashbuckler can affect 400 (20x20) The extra movement seems a little high, plus allowing it in no/light armour, but giving the swashbuckler proficiency in medium, creates the same sort of tradeoff as in the 3.0 ranger with the two-weapon feats. In practice won't most people ignore medium armour? I'm actually surprised that the character never gets any bonus feats. Swashbucklers do tend to be known for their swordfighting skills as well as witty banter. Then again, this class does get a lot of unique abilities. [/QUOTE]
