holy crap! i started a swashbuckller yesterday, and was playing around with shadowkeeper....at lvl40, i got him to -22 AC easily.... the best thing about swashbucklers is you can wear full plate mail and not worry about not being able to backstab because swashbucklers cant backstab anyway [img]smile.gif[/img]

I know, they're really cool and their traps are handy. The bonus to hit and damage every couple of levels is good too

Swashbucklers are nasty little buggers. Handy to duel out to mage too I find, since they get the high levels quick. I don't know how they compare to Assassin's for shere killing power though, assassination is INSANE for them. Think about it, you can get 5 attacks per round, all X7 damage... think about whats about to happen to those fire giants. hehe
