Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wolfspider" data-source="post: 3731616" data-attributes="member: 300">I was just wondering if you thought that combining the feat Companion Guard Style (Dragon 315) with the Swashbuckler's class ability of Insightful Strike would be unbalancing.Companion Guard Style [General]You've been trained in the combat style of the gray elven Companion Guard of Celene.Prerequisites:  Proficient with longsword, longspear, and bows; base attack bonus +4Region:  Celene, gray elfBenefit:  When fighting with a longsword or longspear, you may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls.  If you use a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls.  Additionally, you gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls made to confirm a critical hit with any bow.Special:  You may take this feat as a fighter bonus feat.Insightful Strike (Ex): At 3rd level, a swashbuckler becomes able to place her finesse attacks where they deal greater damage. She applies her Intelligence bonus (if any) as a bonus on damage rolls (in addition to any Strength bonus she may have) with any light weapon, as well as any other weapon that can be used with Weapon Finesse, such as a rapier, whip, or spiked chain. Targets immune to sneak attacks or critical hits are immune to the swashbuckler’s insightful strike. A swashbuckler cannot use this ability when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load.I am, of course, referring to the use of a longsword and/or longspear with Insightful Strike.Thoughts?Thanks!</blockquote>
