I know this question has been asked before, but there is still something unclear to me: in the ACG errata it was clarified that:
Swashbuckler levels stack with gunslinger levels for the purpose of satisfying Signature Deed's level requirement.
Does this mean that, in order to qualify for Signature deed feat, I need at least one level of gunslinger to qualify? Or is the meaning of 'stack' ment to be broader and is it ment for swashbucklers to be able to take this feat at lvl 11?
The reason I ask is because the swashbuckler gets some neat deeds at lvl 11 and I'm considering a new PFS character, who will probably never reach lvl 12.
(I'm aware that the feat does not work on alot of deeds, but still)
So "Stack" in the Pathfinder rules are generally used as a contrast to "Overlaps."
As an example, an armor bonus from a Mage Armor spell and from wearing a breastplate overlap, and you only get the best one. However, a dodge bonuses are explicitly identified as a bonus to armor class that stacks with itself, so a +1 dodge bonus from a feat and a +4 dodge bonus from a racial trait would stack for a total bonus of +5.
In this case, I would indeed read this as allowing A character with only swashbuckler levels to quality for Signature Deed. I do agree that it is not 100% clear to me, and perhaps someone else has a better example.
I wish they had used language like they used with Warpriest or Eldritch Knight about qualifying for a feat that has a Fighter level prerequisite. That was more explicit language.
Well, you have zero levels in gunslinger, right? Whatever you have in swashbuckler will stack with that +0.
