Talk:Swashbuckler (3.5e Class)

That's funny, I was actually planning on working on an alternative use of the Bluff skill and call it just that: Witty Repartee. It would allow a character to use her Bluff skill once per round (opposed by the opponent's Concentration check, probably) in order to distract the opponent and gain an edge over him/her, like heroes do in comics (I'm kind of a Deadpool fan). It would probably increase in potential uses by rank, Tome of Prowess-style. Obviously a Sonic, Language-Dependant and Mind-Affecting effect, although I might allow a character to ingore the first two limitations with a penalty (you can use sign and body language). Advantages like adding Charisma as a bonus to Armor Class, rolls to confirm critical threats or as a penalty on the target for some rolls, etc, which is particularly useful in duels and fits with swashbuckling-type characters, as well as being very flavourful overall. (Gather Information would even prove useful in such cases: bringing doubts on the target's manhood can be much more effective if such rumors turn out to be true, for an example). I was also thinking of building an effective system for parries...Possibly trading Attacks of Opportunities for opposed attack rolls, much like you did. I might even start to actually contribute to the wiki someday, haha!
