[QUOTE="D'karr, post: 76996, member: 336"] [b]Swashbuckling Adventures[/b] Maybe we should write a sourcebook :D The first couple of things are - Are you running a Swashbuckling Campaign (SWC)? Is the PC a Swashbuckler in that type of Campaign? Is the PC a regular PC in any campaign? The reason for the questions is that a SWC allows PCs to do really incredible things with ease. In a SWC the actions you mentioned would just have been a Tumble Check DC (10-15). The attack would have been a separate attack roll. In the case of a failure the PC would not have fallen down the chasm. He would have landed just short of the Orc losing his kick attack and maybe opening himself to an AoO. A SWC assumes that all these incredible feats of acrobatics are nothing more than a routine occurrence to a "Swashbuckler". No reflex save, dex check, double-secret probation roll needed. You just assume that he will successfully grab the rope, swing across the chasm and be able to attempt a kick on the orc. It sure does simplify stuff a lot. A regular PC (not a swashbuckler) would have difficulty comparing to a swashbuckler when it comes to cinematic style. [/QUOTE]
