[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 5983562"] After a lot of thought, I don't really feel that the Swashbucker really fits into either a fighter or rogue sub-class. The Swashbuckler may use stealth and trickery at times, but they are in general more flamboyant. When a rogue would hide or kick sand in the eyes of his enemy, a Swashbucker would challenge his foe to a duel with one hand tied behind his back! The Swashbucker also lacks the overall brute of a warrior, often wearing little more than padded cloth and wielding light weapon(s). When the fighter charges in, the Swashbuckler swings from the ceiling hanging from a chandelier and jumps across his foes to take the high-ground, often using some world-object to impeed the ability of his foes to reach him. It's almost more of a bravado melee urban ranger. Like armor, quick movements, good city-senses, big ego. The Swashbuckler is as likely to actually fight you as he is to light a carriage-wheel on fire and send it rolling down the stairs! The Swashbuckler demands either a [I]very[/I] specific theme which heavily alters the base concepts and presuppositions of either the fighter, rogue, or ranger(is the ranger in 5e?), or it's own unique class which plays upon these classic themes.
