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.
I am interested to see the feats in actual play. They seem to work well, but sometimes new rules work unexpectedly in actual practice.
All in all, this was great, and I'm looking forward to trying some of this material out in my campaign.
In such a small Indulgence there's packed a real treasure for all the flashy fighters out there, for those who love spectacular fights bursting with daring maneuvers and cunning swordplay, for the pirates and swashbuckling fellows, and some more.
Along with a new and incredibly useful combat maneuver, a dozen of feats cover all the finer possibilities of letting your sword do the talking, from lunge to riposte to ACTUALLY parrying your opponents' attacks.
The excellent, compact historical notes give an added bonus and insight to the product.
Whether you are a player or a DM, don't miss this one.
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.
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.
No longer are swashbucklers limited to a sub-standard PC class, they have gained TRUE class - and panache - thanks to this amazing product.
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 !
So go ahead - Indulge yourself in a product you WON'T regret picking up.
