4th Level Swashbuckler Feats

Flamboyant Athlete (Feat 4)

Swashbuckler

Prerequisites expert in Athletics

---

Your panache allows you to perform incredible feats: climbing, swimming, and leaping far beyond your normal capacity. While you have panache, you gain the following benefits.

• You gain climb and swim Speeds equal to half your land Speed.
• The DCs of your High Jumps and Long Jumps decrease by 10. This doesn't combine with other abilities that reduce those DCs.
• The distance you can move with a vertical Leap increases by 3 feet. Your distance for a horizontal Leap increases to 15 feet if your Speed is at least 15 feet, or to 20 feet if your Speed is at least 30 feet.

Guardian's Deflection [R] (Feat 4)

Swashbuckler

Requirements You are wielding a single one-handed melee weapon and have your other hand or hands free.

Trigger An ally within your melee reach is hit by an attack, you can see the attacker, and a +2 circumstance bonus to AC would turn the critical hit into a hit or the hit into a miss.

---

You use your weapon to deflect the attack against your ally, granting a +2 circumstance bonus to their AC against the triggering attack. This turns the triggering critical hit into a hit, or the triggering hit into a miss.

Impaling Finisher [A] (Feat 4)

Swashbuckler

Finisher

---

You stab two foes with a single thrust or bash them together with one punch. Make a bludgeoning or piercing melee Strike and compare the attack roll result against the AC of up to two foes. One foe must be adjacent to you, and the other foe must be adjacent to and directly behind the first foe, in a straight line from your space. Roll damage once and apply it to each creature you hit. An Impaling Finisher counts as two attacks when calculating your multiple attack penalty.

Leading Dance [A] (Feat 4)

Swashbuckler

Move

Prerequisites trained in Performance

Requirements You are adjacent to an enemy.

---

You sweep your foe into your dance. Attempt a Performance check against an adjacent enemy's Will DC. If your swashbuckler's style is battledancer and you succeed, you gain panache.

Critical Success Your foe is swept up in your dance. You both move up to 10 feet in the same direction, remaining adjacent to one another. Your movement doesn't trigger reactions from the target (and the target's movement doesn't trigger reactions because it's forced movement).

Success As critical success, but you both move only 5 feet.

Failure The foe doesn't follow your steps. You can move 5 feet if you choose, but this movement triggers reactions normally.

Critical Failure You stumble, falling prone in your space.

Twin Parry [A] (Feat 4)

Swashbuckler

Requirements You are wielding two melee weapons, one in each hand.

---

You use your two weapons to parry attacks. You gain a +1 circumstance bonus to AC until the start of your next turn, or a +2 circumstance bonus if either weapon has the parry trait. You lose this circumstance bonus if you no longer meet this feat’s requirement.
