So on one of my last posts I asked for ways to optimize my Sashbuckler by taking:

- 6 Swashbucker
- 10 Evangelist
- 4 Virtuous Bravo Paladin

I just wanted to know what the optimal order would actually be?

After trying to figure out where to go with my Swashbuckler I've decided to go 19 Swash/1 Evangelist (Don't have the Herolab book so left it out), I kinda need help with my feats and such and ways to make myself the stronkest boi. I also meant to take Signature Deed: Opportune Parry and Riposte but wouldn't let me.

I decided to play a very odd swashbuckler that specialises in using an 8ft Bastard Sword, we are playing in a campaign with mostly constructs. Looking for ideas on how to improve the build and feats I could choose.

So my current character has a 5ft and 10ft reach with his sword, if I take the Combat Reflexes feat he can make 5 more AoOs, if an enemy moves from my 5ft treaten to 10ft and out do I get 2 attacks or just the one for leaving my range?

So me and a few friends have just started playing for the first time and they all seem to have grasped everything quite quickly whereas I know the basics of what I'm doing. I tried to read the class guides but couldn't rap my head around them, any tips?

I'm playing a 50 Year Old Gnome Rogue with:

- 13 (+1) STR
- 15 (+2) DEX
- 16 (+3) CON
- 11 (+0) INT
- 13 (+1) WIS
- 14 (+2) CHA

I've got the following feat and the skills:

- Two Weapon Fighting
- Acrobatics (+6)
- Bluff (+6)
- Diplomacy (+6)
- Disable Device (+6)
- Disguse (+6)
- Intimidate (+6)
- Perception (+7)
- Sleight of Hand (+6)
- Stealth (+10)

I got this Begginer's Box all payed for on the 4th of March and apparently it is still pending (March 26th) for "Backordered products"? Pretty confused to be honest.
