Re: Pure Swashbuckler, epic level feedback

On the topic of gearing, it'd be great if you could use your Parry shield AC while holding a buckler, so that you don't miss out on an entire gear slot's worth of perks. That or some other Swashbuckler-only offhand item that allows it. Sorry to bump after 9 days but I just thought of it. Hey that's...

2, 12ranger 18AA, pure archer, no tumble, not sure if I am going to miss the 3 tumble ac I think an even number of AA offers you very little in this build.

Pure Swashbuckler, epic level feedback

Just got my first swashbuckler build character into epic levels. "only the first attack in a 'flurry' can be parried" thing is a real setback... I think maybe if an epic swashbuckler could somehow have 50% concealment effect added against attacks from his current target or latest attacker (in the sa...

I recommend scouting it out before accepting it. You don't want to be tied down with a heavy package unable to run and not know exactly where you're headed.

The IG feat description says:

Once per round you will attempt a ride check to increase your Armor Class by 1 point for every 5 of the check result.

that was what I have been going on... but looking up in the RIDE-WIKI page of the Arelith Wiki it doesn't mention this.
