I'm propossing a couple of feats for the swashbuckler type:
Insightful Strike:
Rrerequisites: Weapon Finesse, Weapon Focus with a weapon two wich you can apply the Weapon Finesse feat.
Benefit: While wielding a weapon with wich you have weapon focus in one hand and applying weapon finesse to it you add your intellingence modifier to the damage rolls as a precision base damage.
Special: you cannot use this feat while carrying a shield or attacking with more multiple weapons or natural attacks.

Blade Bravado:
Rrerequisites: Weapon Finesse, Weapon Focus with a weapon two wich you can apply the Weapon Finesse feat.
Benefit: if you make a melee attack with weapon with wich you have weapon focus feat with one hand and applying weapon finesse to it you add your charisma modifier to your AC and CMD for one round.

You see, I feel the one handed witty and dashing swordman is kind of not properly represented, being completly underpowered in comparison with the other options in the current system. My intent is to make allocating those stat points in charisma and intelligence worthwhile, making those roleplaying decisions something that wont cripple your character into ssomething that can't contribute to combat without dying.
Humbly,
Yawar
PSD: I was disapointed by the Aldori Duelist archetype and firmly believe that swashbuckling options should be aviable to rouges, bards and fighters alike.
