Swashbuckler and the Aldori Dueling Sword


Rules Questions

Sovereign Court

Does the Aldori Dueling Sword count as a One Handed Piercing weapon when using Dueling Mastery for the Swashbuckler as it would for Duelist?

As written, no. The Aldori Dueling Mastery feat specifically says "when determining the effects of weapons used by a duelist."

Since this appeared in the PFS forums, I'm afraid the answer is that you can't use it as a swashbuckler piercing weapon with Aldori Dueling Mastery. However, the Aldori dueling sword is a perfect candidate for the Slashing Grace feat.

In a home game I'd probably let it work. The swashbuckler class didn't exist when the Inner Sea World Guide was printed.

Flagged for movement to rules forum.

Awesome. That is all I need.

Slashing Grace on the other hand does allow it to work with a Swashbuckler.


Yeah, you need to get Slashing Grace to 'properly' use the Aldori Dueling Sword with the swashbuckler. That or find some archetype that will allow it from 1st level or the like.
