All right, I know I'm not unbiased in this, but lots of people keep asking me if the Parry feat tree from Art of the Duel will be in the Pathfinder RPG rules.
Personally, I'd love to see this happen, and I think Nick and Lou at sinister are on board too, and it's already open content. And the 'Bind' special attack action has already shown up in the PFCSHC.
So Jason, take a look at it! I'm sure we can get you a copy (just ask Nick).
And everyone else, if you're with me, dog-pile on this thread so that it's not just me tooting my own horn!

I strongly support the integration of the Parry feat tree into the final PFRPG book.
We have a Dodge feat (which was revised since the first Alpha) that's the root for a whole class of mobility-based feats, and it seems logical to me to have also its natural defensive counterpart, the parry (and riposte, etc.)as an integrated option in the rules.
This was a great, great article - I'm with you, Craig! :)

Add my vote as well. These are very cool feats and I would also love to see them in the core book.

I'd love to see the whole Art of the Duel line of feats make it in to PRPG. I think this article was probably the best article rules addition to the game I've seen, and there was lots of great stuff in Dragon over the years.
I have to agree with this.. It's a great article and one that i'm itching to make a character to use. Out DM for CoTCT has modified some NPC's to make use of it and even though the encounters were difficult it was great to see.
ARRRR!!!!!
Toot away Scribe,
I know I liked the Bind mechanic. . .
YES! Maybe tone down Responsive Duelist a bit, to put it more in line with similar feats from Dragon and elsewhere. Otherwise, I'd be all in favor.
add my hearty HELL YEA! To the pile
Nothing could make me happier.
AHHH! Do not call the Endless Hunger for he lurks below reality's surface waiting to bite!
Points at the Dithering One
It was him O Dread Lord! He took your name in vain not me! DON'T EAT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Runs away shreiking into the jungle canopy past the sandy shore.
Ayup.

LOL :D
Heretics repent! Signify your assent... or else.
I know I really liked the bind option, and introduced it into my last campaign, and even had one of my rogue villains use it against the PCs. I'd love to see CMB "Pathfinderized" versions of some of these options and feats in the Beta.
It would be awesome! First version of D&D to have a viable swashbuckler as core class!
Count me in!

Just wondering, Rambling Scribe, how does your rules integrate with the old dragon magazine article on sword fighting?

Prepare for a drubbing! Character concepts, new equipment, and complete parrying rules.

Did you hate these, or do they just not cover what you were looking for? Or do they work well with a little tweek?

You want to post the feats or something, so those of us who didn't buy your PDF can still participate?

I'll talk to Nick about posting samples. This was work-for-hire for me, so I'm not willing to undercut him by releasing the material without his permission. In the meantime, though, it's only $1.50 to buy right here in pdf.

I missed this question earlier. The answer is, I never saw that article! I'll have to try and get a hold of a copy and see how it compares!
