swashbuckling tips

[Serph90]

Hi all
I really like the idea of a swashbuckler character. When I readed the class, my first thought was to a swashbuckler/shadow dancer multiclass since I think it's a nice concept and the 2 classes fit each other. Then I readed the daring champion archetype and instantly fell in love with it, so now I'm torn beetween the 2 options. What do you think abount both of them?

Daring Champion is flat-out better mechanically. But really, you should go with whatever sounds like the most fun.

Daring Champion does have one key weakness though; it can not get Signature Deed

again: I really like the daring champion (I would take the order of the blue rose for the flavor). Any thoughts about a swashbukler/shadowdancer?

Signature deed is a LOOOONG way in, and you can't use it on opportune parry and riposte, which is what you spend most of your penache doing.

D'oh, had it confused with precise strike and inspired strike.
