Banor 06-17-07, 08:43 AM	If I get 2d6 Melee sneak attack from Blade Bravo would I qualify for Daring outlaw (assuming enough levels of swashbuckler) ?
_metz_ 06-17-07, 10:45 AM	In theory yes. But only Rogue and Swashbuckler levels stack, so your Blade Bravo Levels wouldn't help, and so it would be a dead feat. (Unless you already had some rogue). Without Rogue you would have to be level 13 to qualify as well. So its not a good idea, as Daring outlaw specifically only advances Rogue levels stacking with swash levels. Though the source of sneak attack seems irrelevant.

In those cases, Daring Outlaw wouldn't be doing all that much. If you went to Fighter 4, you could have Melee Weapon Mastery instead for comparable damage that is always on and also gives you a to-hit bonus.

Banor 06-17-07, 07:15 PM	Gonna post the build in the appropriate forum. I though that because Blade Bravo's sneak attack is a Melee Sneak attack it wouldnt apply but i wasnt too sure (after all Sneak attack is sneak attack !) thanks
