Halfling Mouser / Mysterious Avenger Swashbuckler Help


Advice


Hey guys! Help with my 9th Level Swashbuckler.

Making him as a backup for my Carrion Crown campaign, and my concept is a Spider-Man level "Harasser"...a shit-talking, motor mouthed little jerk that insults and infuriates his enemies. The Mouser is perfect for getting up in people's faces, and the Mysterious Avenger is just dang flavorful and fits the current slant of the AP.

My question, as always, is feats. I am definitely going Step-Up (take advantage of the Mouser bonuses), and using a Longsword (most commonly found weapon, really)with Slashing Grace, Weapon Focus, and.

I want to give him a high Bluff and using Taunt, possibly Antagonize as well.

I like the idea of the Mysterious Stranger using the whip...would it be worth using Two Weapon fighting to use the whip and sword concurrently?

Would it be worth it using Mobility and Spring Attack?

Am I missing any clutch feats to make a trash-talking, witty little jerk?

My weapon, I think, and I hope it isn't OP or corny, but I was considering a +1 Adamantine Impact Longsword, to boost damage a little bit.

Any thoughts?


Spring attack is useless. you have 20' movement - which gives you 10 in and out... at level 9 you will be fighting a lot of huge things.

If you are picking up Antagonize, you shoulld also get Taunt, as it allows you to do all that intimidating without having any size penalties against you. I know whips can be really feat intensive... what if you picked up a level in Maneauver Monk and snagged Snake Style as the bonus feat. Now you can still use Two Weapon Fighting, while unarmed - and your unarmed attacks would count as light piercing weapons for all panache related swashbuckler stuff.

Plus you can start becoming untouchable. You already have Parry, but now you can also, as an immediate action raise your AC and Touch AC to (d20+Sense Motive) casing a lot of enraged enemies to miss you. You miss out on the riposte attack - but yor character wouldn't be the big damage dealer, so much as the distractor that makes all the enemies waste their time on you.

The other benefit of this is that you can pick up a scimitar instead of a longsword, and get Dervish Dance - now you get dex to attack and damage for both scimitar and unarmed strike, helping make up for some the damage you are missing by not riposting every parry.


Nice! I already planned on Taunt for sure, but the Snake Style is definitely an option...I had a Rogue/Monk that never got hit...until he did...by wraiths...many times. Zero Constitution sucks.
