Not sure if this is the right forum, but I'll give it a go...
While looking through the Archetype for the Aldori Swordlord fighter found in the Inner Sea Primer a few things caught my attention and are making me think...
1. "The following benefits only apply when a swordlord is using an Aldori dueling sword and carrying nothing in his other hand." Does a buckler count toward carrying something in his other hand since it technically straps to the forearm and is not carried?
2. Defensive Parry: the swordlord gains the +1 bonus to AC and then it increases every four levels yet it states that it only replaces Armor Training 1 and 4. Does the swordlord gain the increase regardless that there are replacements for Armor Training 2 and 3 that would occur at the same levels? Thus allowing the swordlord to gain the benefits of 2 class features at levels 7 and 11?
3. Disarming Strike: only replaces Weapon Training 1. Does the swordlord then get Weapon Training 1 when he would normally be getting Weapon Training 2? Weapon training then is just shifted one step so that at 17th level the swordlord finishes weapon training having only gained Weapon Training 3?
