Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dichotomy" data-source="post: 3009936" data-attributes="member: 12941">I changed my mind after much thought.  I've decided to forego the Bard/Paladin in favor of a Swashbuckler.  In her future career, I see her taking a couple levels of Fighter and moving into Dervish.I have two questions, however:1) Does the Expeditious Dodge feat from Races of the Wild count as Dodge for all purposes (such as for getting into Dervish and for Elusive Target)?2) At first level, a Dervish can treat a scimitar as a light weapon (and so can use Weapon Finesse with it).  Would you be willing to allow me to use weapon Finesse with it earlier, since it is really nothing more than a slashing rapier?The character is not quite complete yet.  I still need to finish getting equipment.I'm also not familiar with rolling attributes on invisible castle, but i think <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?a=show&id=561151" target="_blank">this</a> should be right (pretty lucky I think).Idim Moq Qo Harr[sblock=Character Sheet]Female Human Swashbuckler 3Neutral Good            Str 13 (+1)Dex 18 (+4)Con 15    (+2)Int 15 (+2)Wis 10 (+0)Cha 11 (+0)Hit Points 28AC 18 (+4 masterwork chain shirt, +4 Dex), Touch 14, Flat 14Init +4BAB +3, Grap +4Speed 40 (base 40, load 49.5/50, light armor)Fort +6 (3 + 2 Con + 1 resist), Ref +7 (1 + 4 Dex + 1 comp + 1 resist), Will +2 (1 + 0 Wis + 1 resist)+8 Melee, masterwork rapier, 1d6+1 (+2 precision damage), 18-20/x2+8 Ranged, masterwork composite longbow (mighty +1), 1d8+1, 20/x3, 110'r+7 Ranged touch, acid flask, 1d6 acid (1 acid splash damage), 20/x2, 10'r+7 Ranged touch, alchemist's fire flask, 1d6 fire (1 fire splash damage), 20/x2, 10'rMedium, 5'6", 120 lbs., 19 yrs oldBlack hair, brown eyes, dark tanned skinSpeaks common, elven, and dwarven+11 Balance (6 ranks + 4 Dex + 2 synergy – 1 acp)+8 Diplomacy (6 ranks + 0 Cha + 2 synergy)+9 Escape Artist (6 ranks + 4 Dex – 1 acp)+12 Jump (6 ranks +1 Str + 2 synergy + 4 speed – 1 acp) (synergy to tumble)+3 Perform (dance) (3 cc ranks + 0 Cha)+6 Sense Motive (6 ranks + 0 Wis) (synergy to diplomacy)+11 Tumble (6 ranks + 4 Dex + 2 synergy – 1 acp) (synergy to balance and jump)Feats-Fleet of Foot (regional): when unencumbered and wearing light armor or less, land speed +10’;
