Golarion sword-fighting styles: Aldori, Rondelero, what else?

Other than the two I mention above, can you think of any sword-based fighting styles mentioned in a Golarion product? Osiriani blade binding? Anything else?

Silver Crusade

Qadirian dervishes?


I suggest that the Red Mantis have their own sword-fighting style.

Chelaxian Nipple Twisting?

Well, there goes the whole thread. Good job!


*attempts to get back on track*

EDIT: OOP! Developer asking.. Perhaps there were some in the APs?

While Hamatulatsu is a "style" per se, I believe they were looking for "armed" styles in particular, "sword" in specific.


Taldorians have a feat for fighting with the falcata and buckler, so I would think they have something of a style there.

Silver Crusade

I've been looking as well and aside from the Taldorian Duelist feat, I can't seem to find anything else sword specific either.


There is the dervish dance feat which makes scimitars use your dex as bonus damage (and count as piercing weapons for duelist abilities) so I think that counts too.

Also the Qadirans have a feat called mounted blade (iirc) that lets you take a second swing with the ride by attack -- it's flavored for the sword but doesn't specifically that it can only be used with one though.


I prefer taldoran nipple twisting

Scarab Sages

Shoanti = Thunder and Fang, using a Klar

Not sure if you consider it a style, though it sounds like one.. Iomedeaen sword oath. Perhaps this is more divine providence than skill since it involves an atonement to repair though...

Not likely to ever be anything but NPC related, but Urdefhans (sp?) have a style with their swords I think..

You could probably stick a fancy name on the Elven style that, because of their weapons, translates as "We can Finesse anything, even greatswords!"

And I'm not sure it's given a 'style' name, but the one wielded scimitar dex to dmg feat is definitely a regional sword style feat.

On top of that, all the devil-derived feats for Cheliax are probably part of one big fighting style - Hell-born Blade, or something.

While there is not yet any crunch, I would think that Orisini has come up with an original trick or two.


And I believe there are distinct stylistic differences between Vudrani and Xian schools of martial arts.

I can has feat chain?

But seriously, I'm really hoping for something to add more flavor to the Monk.
