[QUOTE="Strider The Ranger, post: 76891, member: 1741"] Does anyone have/know about D&D 3e/d20 rules governing swashbuckling types of adventures? I, for one, would like to try them out because they look fun. In addition, one of my PCs was trying to do this, and as I had no other rules, I had to use the D&D rules. Needless to say, after rolling many many MANY rolls to perform one task, it got tiring real fast. In addition, it would never seem to work. One such task was leaping from a bridge, grabbing onto the rope handle, and swinging upwards to boot an orc in the eye. First thing required a jump check, then a reflex save to grab the rope, then a str/climb check to hold oneself upon the rope, then a dex check to swing upwards and finally an attack role against the defender who, in this instance, i considered flat footed (as he would be VERY confused as to what was going on). However, after the PC missed the reflex save, he plummeted to the ground below, taking some 40 damage in the process (may I point out that 40 damage is CONSIDERABLY more than one wants to take at 6th level...)
