Special Abilities
--------------------
Bonus Feat Humans select one extra feat at 1st level.

Skilled Humans gain an additional skill rank at first level and one additional rank whenever they gain a level.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency Swashbucklers are
proficient with simple and martial weapons, as well as
light armor and bucklers.

Swashbuckler Finesse (Ex) At 1st level, a swashbuckler
gains the benef its of the Weapon Finesse feat with
light or one-handed piercing melee weapons, and she
can use her Charisma score in place of Intelligence as
a prerequisite for combat feats. This ability counts as
having the Weapon Finesse feat for purposes of meeting
feat prerequisites.

Panache (Ex) More than just a lightly armored warrior,
a swashbuckler is a daring combatant. She fights with
panache: a fluctuating measure of a swashbuckler’s
ability to perform amazing actions in combat. At the start
of each day, a swashbuckler gains a number of panache
points equal to her Charisma modifier (minimum 1).
Her panache goes up or down throughout the day, but
usually cannot go higher than her Charisma modifier
(minimum 1), though feats and magic items can affect
this maximum. A swashbuckler spends panache to
accomplish deeds (see below), and regains panache in the
following ways.

Unlike other swashbucklers, a flying blade
regains panache only when she confirms a critical hit or
makes a killing blow with a dagger or starknife. This ability
alters panache.

Deeds Swashbucklers spend panache points to
accomplish deeds. Most deeds grant the swashbuckler
a momentary bonus or effect, but some provide longerlasting
effects. Some deeds remain in effect while
the swashbuckler has at least 1 panache point, but do
not require expending panache to be maintained. A
swashbuckler can only perform deeds of her level or
lower. Unless otherwise noted, a deed can be performed
multiple successive times, as long as the swashbuckler
has or spends the required number of panache points to
perform the deed.

Derring-Do (Ex) At 1st level, a swashbuckler can spend
1 panache point when she makes an Acrobatics, Climb,
Escape Artist, Fly, Ride, or Swim check to roll 1d6 and add
the result to the check. She can do this after she makes
the check but before the result is revealed. If the result
of the d6 roll is a natural 6, she rolls another 1d6 and
adds it to the check. She can continue to do this as long as
she rolls natural 6s, up to a number of times equal to her
Dexterity modifier (minimum 1).

Subtle Throw (Ex) At 1st level, a flying blade can spend
1 panache point as part of a ranged attack with a dagger or
starknife to make it without provoking attacks of opportunity.
At 6th level, as a swift action she can spend 1 panache point
to make all of her ranged attacks with daggers or starknives
without provoking attacks of opportunity until the start of
her next turn. This deed replaces dodging panache.

Opportune Parry and Riposte (Ex) At 1st level, when an
opponent makes a melee attack against the swashbuckler,
she can spend 1 panache point and expend a use of an
attack of opportunity to attempt to parry that attack.
The swashbuckler makes an attack roll as if she were
making an attack of opportunity; for each size category
the attacking creature is larger than the swashbuckler,
the swashbuckler takes a –2 penalty on this roll. If her
result is greater than the attacking creature’s result, the
creature’s attack automatically misses. The swashbuckler
must declare the use of this ability after the creature’s
attack is announced, but before its attack roll is made.
Upon performing a successful parry and if she has at least
1 panache point, the swashbuckler can as an immediate
action make an attack against the creature whose attack
she parried, provided that creature is within her reach.

Jag stared at the man hunched over across from him in the little side alley behind <location>.

His long thick brown hair flowed out from underneath a wide brimmed hat. He had a moustache and goatee and though it looked as if he shaved often, his five o'clock shadow suggested it was a losing battle.

A few stray small scars lined an otherwise handsome face. Jag heard that he had never lost a scuffle before, but it looked like a few men had atleast gotten close.

He wore a long brown coat that stretched to the ground but was left open in the front, inside which Jag could just occasionally spot the glint of steel in the mid day.

And his boots were a bit longer than normal going all the way - - -

"Son, quit staring at me like I'm some barmaid, it's making me uncomfortable."

"You're about to go to work with a living legend, the one and only An'Derin Voss, so try to pay attention."

"Now I trust you know how to work a card table as you came recommended to me. So let's just go over our supplies in case things go south. We got our thunderstones, some potions, caltrops, alchemists fire, grappling ho-- Stop looking at me like that son, when it comes to cheating at kings court you can never be too prepared." An'Derin continued rattling off items as he handed some to Jag who struggled to find spots for them all.

" ... And if all that fails I've yet to see a situation that a good piece of steel couldn't solve." said An'Derin laughing merrily as he produced a long bright wickedly curved dagger from a sheathe apparently attached to his wrist.

"You remembered to bring a blade didn't you son?"

Jag nodded and produced his dagger.

"By God son, what is holding that thing together, it's no wonder you're down on your luck, it's being used up just keeping that thing in one piece."

Jag felt himself redden deeply.

"Here take one of these son before you get yourself killed." as An'Derin produced an odd four bladed ring. Apparently An'Derin saw the look on Jag's face because he immediately thought better of it.

"Err, nevermind, I might just be expediting the process by giving you this, Starknives they are. Fine weapons, but Desna help you if you don't use them properly."

He must have been following his eyes because he added afterwards.
"Don't even entertain the idea of me lending you <Dagger Name>. This little beauty costs more than everything you own. Won it off an old bastard who passed through here two years ago, old codger said he himself won it off some lesser noble. And I'm inclined to believe him, it's the best piece of metal I've ever seen atleast."

"Know what, forget the weapon, just stick with me and follow my lead and you'll do just fine son... Oh and hey, don't worry about the Devils... " said An'Derin as he clasped his hand around Jag's shoulder laughing merrily and leading him torwards the church entrance.

An'Derin Voss, also known simply as "The Man" in some circles was a respected small time rogue, gambler, and hired muscle for the criminal underbelly of Westcrown before his capture two years ago.

Faced with the prospect of either facing Thrune's justice system or turn informant, Voss chose to save his own skin.

And although he tried to stick to turning in only the most vile of criminals such as the murderers and rapists of Westcrown; Thrune's quotas were both demanding and absolute. There had come numerous times when An'Derin was forced to give up a man far more innocent than he.

His latest mark was such a man, Jaggarin Tanner was a good man down on his luck forced to turn to a life of petty crime to provide for his family.

But when he saw the look of fear and betrayal in Jaggarin's face, he promised himself the next time he had the chance to fight back against House Thrune, he'd take it.
