About Tanto Kawaterru

Tanto’s youth was spent on the road. His parents were travelling con artists, moving from town to town picking their marks, generally preying on corrupt nobles, the greedy rich or other targets deserving of their trickery. The young kitsune would often be called upon to help in the scams, performing tasks that his size or youth could assist in.

He never had many friends of his own age, generally being treated as an outsider by the kids he would meet in each town. As such, he learnt to anticipate danger quite quickly, while trying to stay out of trouble or scraps.

Eventually his parents luck ran out and they got caught in a scam by one of the local sheriffs, getting locked up for their ‘crimes’. Tanto was left on his own and fell in with a group of river pirates working out of the nearby docks. They used him to help in their raids, promising to help break out his parents from their cells if he payed off his debt in advance. It was during this time that he took up his favoured weapon, the dagger. Preferring to fight from a distance, he would practice for hours, throwing at targets with the little weapons.

Several years passed until Tanto eventually came of age and convinced his pirate ‘friends’ to live up to their work, releasing his parents who then retired from their travelling ways, leaving him with a decision to make. He then decided to join the Pathfinders and the Sovereign Court faction, using his acquired skills for good, while exploring and making his name in the world.

--------------------
Agile a +2 racial bonus on Acrobatics checks.

[floatleft][imageid=2311694][/floatleft] Change Shape A kitsune can assume the appearance of a specific single human form of the same sex. The kitsune always takes this specific form when she uses this ability. A kitsune in human form cannot use her bite attack, but gains a +10 racial bonus on Disguise checks made to appear human. Changing shape is a standard action. This ability otherwise functions as alter self, except that the kitsune does not adjust her ability scores.[clear]
Kitsune Magic Kitsune add +1 to the DC of any saving throws against enchantment spells that they cast. Spell-like ability: 3/day—dancing lights.
Natural Weapons Bite attack that deals 1d4 points of damage.
Low-Light Vision Kitsune can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light.
Weapon and armor proficiency proficient with simple and martial weapons, as well as light armor and bucklers.
Panache At the start of each day, gains a number of panache points equal to Charisma modifier (minimum 1). Panache goes up or down throughout the day, but usually cannot go higher than Charisma modifier (minimum 1), though feats and magic items can affect this maximum. A swashbuckler spends panache to accomplish deeds. Regain when when confirms a critical hit or makes a killing blow with a dagger or starknife.
Start with 3/day.
Deeds
Derring-Do Spend 1 panache point when makes an acrobatics, Climb, Escape Artist, Fly, Ride, or Swim check to roll 1d6 and add the result to the check. Do this after 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. Can continue to do this as long as rolls natural 6s, up to a number of times equal to Dexterity modifier (minimum 1).
Subtle Throw 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.
Opportune Parry and Riposte When an opponent makes a melee attack against the swashbuckler, he 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 he 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 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 he has at least 1 panache point, the swashbuckler can as an immediate action make an attack against the creature whose attack he parried, provided that creature is within her reach.
Disrupting Counter (Ex): When an opponent makes a melee attack against him, hhe can spend 1 panache point to make an attack of opportunity against the attacking foe. This attack of opportunity can be made with either a dagger or a starknife. If the attack hits, the opponent takes a –4 penalty on all attack rolls until the end of its turn.
Precise Strike (Ex): While he has at least 1 panache point, a swashbuckler gains the ability to strike precisely with a light or one-handed piercing melee weapon (though not natural weapon attacks), adding her swashbuckler level to the damage dealt. To use this deed, a swashbuckler cannot attack with a weapon in her other hand or use a shield other than a buckler. She can even use this ability with thrown light or one-handed piercing melee weapons, so long as the target is within 30 feet of her. Any creature that is immune to sneak attacks is immune to the additional damage granted by precise strike, and any item or ability that protects a creature from critical hits also protects a creature from the additional damage of a precise strike. This additional damage is precision damage, and isn’t multiplied on a critical hit. As a swift action, a swashbuckler can spend 1 panache point to double her precise strike’s damage bonus on the next attack. This benefit must be used before the end of her turn, or it is lost. This deed’s cost cannot be reduced by any ability or effect that reduces the amount of panache points a deed costs (such as the Signature Deed feat).
Precise Throw (Ex): As long as he has at least 1 panache point, a flying blade can use his precise strike with a thrown dagger or starknife as long as the target is within 60 feet of her, and he increases the range increment of these weapons by 5 feet. She can spend 1 panache point when he throws a dagger or a starknife to ignore all range increment penalties with that ranged attack.
Swashbuckler Finesse A swashbuckler gains the benefits 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.
Swashbuckler Initiative (Ex): While the swashbuckler has at least 1 panache point, she gains a +2 bonus on initiative checks. In addition, if she has the Quick Draw feat, her hands are free and unrestrained, and she has any single light or one-handed piercing melee weapon that isn’t hidden, she can draw that weapon as part of the initiative check.
Charmed Life 3/day as an immediate action before attempting a saving throw, add Charisma modifier to the result of the save. Choose before the roll is made. At 6th level and every 4 levels thereafter, the number of times she can do this per day increases by one (to a maximum of 7 times per day at 18th level).
Nimble: At 3rd level, a swashbuckler gains a +1 dodge bonus to AC while wearing light or no armor. Anything that causes the swashbuckler to lose her Dexterity bonus to AC also causes her to lose this dodge bonus. This bonus increases by 1 for every 4 levels beyond 3rd (to a maximum of +5 at 19th level).
