Amateur Swashbuckler has a requirement that you can't have the panache class feature. A sleuth has a similar feature, luck, but it's not specifically called out as a panache pool. Would I be able to play a Sleuth with Amateur Swashbuckler in a PFS game? I've been out of the loop for a while; has there been an official word on the equivalence of panache, grit, and luck?
Yes you can take it, the official word is that they all combine to one big pool.
"A luck user does not qualify as a grit or panache user to satisfy feat prerequisites" (sidebar, p. 102). That should answer it.
I never expected that that sentence in the sidebar could actually benefit a luck user. Nice!
