::pout:: No duelist?

[DerekSTheRed]

Derek! I have your answer finally:

Yes. You can use Bluff as a standard action to gain combat advantage against the target in the following round.

Thanks Voss. I'm hoping there's a feat or power (encounter?) in the Martial source book that reduces the bluff to a minor action. Of course the Martial book might have a swashbuckler/duelist base class as well.

The Power Books aren't supposed to have any base classes, but we could probably see a Duellist and/or Swashbuckler PP in it.

I say rogue multi-d with fighter, for the Mark ability ("I said fight me, curr!") and a few choice attacks.

But seriously. Rogue. They have the movement, the damage output, and don't get much armor.

This.

Well, feinting is only allowed once per encounter, anyway.

Couldn't you also take the Sword Master PP instead? I don't have the books soI don't know the difference between the 2 paths. Also, there are rules for bluffing/feinting in combat.

Sword Master is also cool, but it's more focused on getting better use out of Fighter powers. If you have few Fighter powers, it's not that great.

Kensei, on the other hand, is just plain awesome. The +4 damage is SCHWEEEEET for a Rogue, and the capstone ability just screams "Swash THIS buckle, punks!" ... with a pirate accent. It's that good.
