<p><b>Indulgence: Art of the Duel (OGL) PDF</b></p><p>Sinister consistently brings the goods.</p>
<p>This piece is simply a •must have• for anyone that wants to expand the cinematic quality of hand-to-hand fighting in their game. Shackleton obviously knows the material intimately, and coupled with his innate brilliance in game design, this is one of the best support pieces that I've ever seen put together.</p>
<p>The new feats are invaluable, and at only $1.50, it's almost criminal not to own this.</p>

<p>It's too bad Mr. Shackleton couldn't make PaizoCon in 2009. :(</p>
<p>An awesome resource for some truly unique, refreshing swordplay for 3.5 rules. Wonderful stuff!</p>

<p><b>Indulgence: Art of the Duel (OGL) PDF</b></p><p>The Scribe obviously knows his fencing! This little goodie contains a short intro piece — extremely evocative and well-written — and then offers a slew of light-weapon feats (11 in all) that offer excellent options for swashbuckling characters. The feats seemed workable and well-balanced mechanically; some are similar to previously-published material, but apply slightly less onerous prerequisites. My only concern is the lack of congruity with earlier stuff and verging into the "too good" territory: there's one feat, for example, that relicates "Robilar's Gambit" almost exactly, except with easier prereqs and no penalty to attack — out of everything presented, that one could see some serious abuse. Luckily, it applies to only one target/round, but you'd still be crazy NOT to take it, if it's offered.</p>
<p>Overall, a lot of very good stuff, with only one or two feats bent a bit (but not broken, and very easily straightened out by adding a limitation or two). This is worth WAY more than the asking price!</p>

<p><b>Indulgence: Art of the Duel (OGL) PDF</b></p><p>There are some really solid and well-thought feats & weapons in this inexpensive little PDF. The mechanics used to represent fencing are great and could easily be adapted to fighting styles such as Sword & Board with some ingenuity.</p>
<p>An affordable must have for swashbucklers and bards. I'd like to see further supplements in this vein.</p>

<p><b>Indulgence: Art of the Duel (OGL) PDF</b></p><p>Lots of fantastic feats and a handful of cool variations on the standard rapier in this lovely little six page resource. Full of interesting historical tidbits and rules that mimic real life swordplay well whilst remaining clean and elegant mechanically. Sadly I haven't seen bind/parry/riposte in play so I couldn't say if they slow down play at all, but I'm really looking forward to finding out! I have seen Deep Lunge in action which is possibly my favorite feat here, very cool and beautifully balanced. I don't find Challenge to a Duel entirely convincing and Dagger Defense is perhaps a little too strong (though again, haven't seen it in action), but that's hardly enough to mark down such a good product, especially at this price tag.</p>

<p><b>Indulgence: Art of the Duel (OGL) PDF</b></p><p>This article provides a wealth of information for gamers (DM & player equally), as well and a short and enjoyable history read. It's a nice balance of applicable game material (ie: feats), as well as detailed knowledge of swordplay and historical sidenotes.</p>
<p>IN PRACTICE, none of the feats a 7th level Rogue (Paizo Pathfinder RPG Alpha 1.1) took from this article seem overpowered. The new combat application was interesting and was (imagination) visually interesting, especially when used by a halfling! I would be interested to see this kind of work developed and/or absorbed by Pathfinder as a staple of quality gameplay, instead of a simple spatbook. The quality and detail are far better than that reference. In fact, I enjoyed more from this small .pdf than I have from other hardback suppliments.</p>

<p><b>Indulgence: Art of the Duel (OGL) PDF</b></p><p>This article has some great ideas in it. Not only do I want to adapt this to Pathfinder so I can see if bind and other options work with CMB, but I want to make up a rogue using a case of rapiers, for example.</p>
<p>I am interested to see the feats in actual play. They seem to work well, but sometimes new rules work unexpectedly in actual practice.</p>
<p>All in all, this was great, and I'm looking forward to trying some of this material out in my campaign.</p>

<p><b>Indulgence: Art of the Duel (OGL) PDF</b></p><p>I have been a student of Fence (historical combat as opposed to the sport of Fencing as seen in the Olympics, etc) for almost two decades and have been trying for years to find (or create) a system to accurately portray the power, the grace, and the pulse-pounding excitement of classical swordplay.</p>
<p>With 11 TRULY useful feats, 5 new weapons, and one incredibly innovative and engaging new combat maneuver, Craig Shackleton has done what no one before has ben able to do.</p>
<p>No longer are swashbucklers limited to a sub-standard PC class, they have gained TRUE class - and panache - thanks to this amazing product.</p>
<p>Don't let the low price tag fool you - this and ALL of the Sinister Adventures .pdfs are worth far more than the price tag, bringing a richness of treasures to any game ! </p>
<p>So go ahead - Indulge yourself in a product you WON'T regret picking up.</p>
