Swashbuckler Archetype
Here are up a new modified archetype: the Swashbuckler, in a 3 Musketeers genre, based on Quickleaf's Seafaring archetype. ( http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?394575-Swashbuckler-and-Ship-Mage-(new-archetypes)/page4#ixzz3MZ3nVZhJ). Your opinion ?
A Bard, Fighter or Rogue can choose the Swashbuckler archetype when they reach 3rd level and would select a bardic college, martial archetype or roguish archetype.
One of the main appeals of the Swashbuckler archetype are the Swashbuckler Tricks (think the warlock's Eldritch Invocations, only muskeeters-themed and less magical). In fact, your character doesn't need to take one of these archetypes to gain access to Swashbuckler Tricks; simply take the Crafty Gentleman feat, which is to Swashbuckler Tricks what the Martial Adept feat is to Battle Master Maneuvers.
Crafty Gentleman (New Feat)
You gain the following benefits:
- Gain proficiency in one of the following: Thief's tools, disguise kit (especially courtier's clothes and accessories) or land vehicules.
- Gain 2 Swashbuckler 's Tricks.
Multiclassing Rule: As the PHB Spellcasting rule- Your capacity for the swashbuckler abilities depends partly on your combined levels in all your swashbuckler classes and partly on your individual levels in those classes.
A character may substitute an ability if it is already taken and the combined levels are still enough for the class ability one just gets a level in.
ex: swashbuckling step instead of underhand tactics at combined 10th for a fighter of 7th level than just turn barbarian 3th level.
Swashbuckler
The Swashbuckler archetype represents a consummate gentleman, and a nimble warrior who fights with panache. More at home in a tavern or at the court than he or she is a dungeon, the Swashbuckler adopts an underhanded and mobile style of fighting known as swashbuckling. The myriad dangers of the city – coup d’état, courtesans, thugs, false beggars - are well known to the Swashbuckler, who can handle anything the city throws his or her way.
Bards, Fighter and Rogues can all take the Swashbuckler archetype. The exact progression of features depends on the class.
