Need some advice for a Swashbuckler finesse build


Advice


Ok so here is the deal.

I am in a game that is level 7 as of right now. We rolled stats, not point buy, and for once I actually rolled really well.

Human LN Swashbuckler 6 for now.

Str: 13
Dex: 26 (rolled 4 6s, so started 19, 4 dex item, 2 from human, 1 at 4th level)
Con: 16
Int: 17
Wis: 15
Cha: 16

If it matters we are running Kingmaker, but in Scarred Lands. Yeah not a fun place to be.
We also have quite a funding of gold due to some excellent roleplaying.

Current feats:
Level 1: Weapon Finesse, Evade (dodge), Weapon Focus (Scimitar), Power Attack
Level 3: Dervish Dance, Quick (Scarred lands feat)
Level 5: Improved Initiative.
Level 6: Weapon Spec. (Scimitar)

My question is: at 7 Taking

One level of Unarmed Fighter to get IMS and Crane Style, and my 7th level feat for Crane Wing
OR
7th Level Feat of Mobility and go Duelist
OR
Stay more Swashbuckler

Feel free to throw out any advice on nifty things like feats, gear or classes.
Only thing is I really do not want to take any classes that do not get a Full BAB.


Forgot to mention, Pathfinder and Scarred Lands books only.


Really people, nothing?

Sorry but i got nothing especially since i dont like the Dervish Dance feat.


I got nothing except I've never heard of rolling 4d6 and taking *all* of them. Those rolls have got to be something like a 60-something point build, no?


Oracle of Battle 1 Surprising Charge

Manoeuvre Master Monk (if tripping)

Master of Many Styles (free combat style feats and saves and move and evasion etc etc)


i think most people on these forums concentrate on pathfinder builds, not cross 3.5/pathfinder. there are already so many options for characters just using paizo materials that adding all 3.5 books into the mix just makes it practically impossible. and swashbuckler in pathfinder is a mediocre rogue archetype :)

Grand Lodge

You're using 3.5?


Is this the conversion third party swashbuckler or the 3.5 one?

Grand Lodge

Maybe the terrible Swashbuckler Rogue archetype?


I think it's the 3rdpp here

Looks Pretty damned spiffy. Like... TOO spiffy. That said, I'd play one in a skull and shackles game in a heart beat.


Yes, it is the 3pp Swashbuckler, we only use Pathfinder and Scarred Lands material.

If it matters I am the Ruler in the Kingmaker campaign, but with much more logical building rules.

So far we are level 8 now.

I re-arranged slightly to take Fighter - Unarmed Fighter path, for IUS and Crane Ripsote, my 5th level feat for crane style, and 7th level fight for Crane Wing.

Right now. I am Swashbuckler 7, Unarmed Fighter 1.

I am captain defense. Crazy good AC, and then if you are lucky enough to land a hit I just Crane Wing it and counter attack anyway.

Against another melee fighter of my level I am a beast, the casters however give me issues.
