Kata Master / Swashbuckler


Rules Questions


If you take levels in both Kata Master and Swashbuckler is your panache pool twice your charisma, And do you regain 2 points on a critical?


Having the Panache ability twice is still just having the ability. The second time of gaining the ability does nothing.


I'm gonna say no, because according to the interwebz:

Grit, luck, and panache represent three different means by which heroes can gain access to the same heroic pool, using it to accomplish fantastic feats. For characters with a mix of grit, luck, and panache, they pool the resources together into a combined pool. (Those who use panache and luck gain twice their Charisma bonus in their pool.) For feats, magic items, and other effects, a panache user can spend and gain luck points in place of grit or panache points, and vice versa.

Having two Charisma based pools with different names lets you add a point to either one in the event that you crit, not both. I would say that means having two pools of the same name doesn't let you double up on Panache recovery.

This is all guess work on my part though, wait for someone who knows what they're talking about.
