🤺Swashbuckler

Swashbuckler are the best duelists around, with their signature parry and riposte ability giving them an edge over virtually all martial combatants, especially in melee. Their swift action is incredibly valuable, and can be spent in a number of ways that are powerful in their own ways.

1 - Panache

Gain a pool of 5 points to use your class features with that replenishes each day.

Regain panache when you perform the following actions. >Succeed on a gambit (5) >Willingly provoke an AoO from a non minion enemy with your actions (1) >Roll at least 10 higher than an enemy's AC and crit a non minion enemy (1) >Defeat a non minion enemy (1)

1 - Parry and Riposte

With a light weapon in your main hand and a buckler in your offhand, you can parry at any time. If you choose to use an unarmed strike or natural attack, you need a buckler in your off hand and a completely free main hand. Parry functions in 2 different ways.

Prepare to Parry - You can choose to forgo any number of attacks during your turn. Until the start of your next turn you can parry as an instant action a number of times equal to the number of attacks you decided to forego. If you successfully negate an attack, you can riposte and make a melee attack against the creature as an instant action.

Reactive Parry - You can attempt to parry an attack without preparing by spending 2 panache. If you successfully negate an attack, you can riposte make a melee attack against the creature as an immediate action.

If your foe attacked with a ranged attack, or with a weapon that has the reach property, you can only retaliate if they are within your reach. You can parry without a buckler, but take a -4 penalty to attack when you parry.

1 - Practiced Duelist

You get a +4 bonus on bluff checks to feint, and an equal bonus on insight checks to resist feint. You can feint as a swift action. By spending 1 panache as a free action, you gain advantage.

2 - Charmed Life

The first time you use luck each round, it doesn't take an action. By spending 1 panache, you can reroll a save as an immediate action.

2 - Dodging Panache [elusive]
