So, while trying to build a swashbuckler/duelist, I came across the Dueling Cape feat:
As a move action, you can wrap a cape that you're wearing around your arm (removing it if necessary), and treat it as a buckler. If you are using the cape in this way, and an opponent misses you with a melee attack, as an immediate action you can spend 1 panache point to release your cape from your arm and entangle your foe in it. The foe can free it by using a full-round action to escape or by destroying the cape; a typical cape has hardness 1 and 3 hit points. You can use this feat with items similar in shape and weight to a cape, such as a cloak or a curtain.
But I have a couple of questions regarding it:
1. Can I use the feat and the Duelist Precise strike ability? For reference it has the limitation of: "When making a precise strike, a duelist cannot attack with a weapon in her other hand or use a shield."
2. Can I enhance it like a shield?
3. Is there any special capes that would make this even better?

Why did you cut your quote short?
To use this deed, a swashbuckler cannot attack with a weapon in her other hand or use a shield other than a buckler.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the Duelist Prestige Class. A rough guess, I would say yes, because it says "like a shield" and it seems like an ability that would fit the class.
I don't think you could enhance it because it is a cloak. If you could I would be less inclined to say yes to question 1.
Not that I'm aware of.

nefreet: Sorry I guess. I thought my question was pretty clear since I specifically said Duelist Precise strike and quoted the relevant text of the ability.
Jodokai: The "like a shield" is what is making me question yes or no instead of simply of saying no. I am pretty doubtful of the enhancement as well but wasn't 100% sure.
Also the same question also applies to Duelist Canny Defense since it requires not using a shield.
Daedalaman: I will have to check them out. Thanks
