[QUOTE="Kyramus, post: 1340817, member: 7072"] Swashbuckling.... -thinks- Somehow it seems just a tad bland to be ala musketeer feel. suggestions: prereq: skill focus (tumble) Abilities... here's where we see that they are fighter like with feat like abilities. But since you wanted any class to be able to take this how about.... Other suggestions: 1) Level up as one of your existing class (this option makes the Golden Falcon more of a title than actual class. Porthos vs Aramis vs Athos. Porthos took more rogue. Aramis took a little Cleric and then went with fighter/paladin. Athos took a few levels in aristocrat then fighter. This also covers the spell casting progression) 2) I've heard some of my own players ask this question. "Can I Parry?" And because the rules of combat doesn't really put Parry as an action they can do, maybe give them the Parry as a feat. This allows them to use an AOO against one attacker to attempt a deflection of the blow. DC is the attacker's attack roll. If they succeed the attack was deflected. They cannot do an AOO in that round after the Parry unless they have combat reflexes and only to someone else. 3) We are talking about the Queen's Bodyguards right? Ummm Is there a King? Is the King a jealous man? Would they need to be Eunuchs? 4) Maybe give them access to a particular weapon for free? ala a free exotic weapon? just random thoughts. Hope any of it helps. [/QUOTE]
