We've all tried it at some point, making an Aldori Duelist. Their setting fluff is just so cool. Sadly, the game mechanics attached to it fall short. How can they be the most skilled swordsmen on Golarion when any standard fighter will have more to hit, more damage, and more tricks up their sleeves?

Well wonder no more, because the Secrets of the swordlords have been revealed! This document, stolen by members of the poisoners guild from the lords of Brevoy themselves, reveal for the first time the exact nature of the Aldori Dueling style, the common lies they spread to hide it's true nature, and why the Aldori sit atop the heap of lesser swordmen

Basically, I've spent the last week working on an Aldori swordlord for a kingmaker game, and I wanted to share what I've learned about making an effective Aldori.
