Swashbuckler
(PRESTIGE CLASS)

The Swashbuckler is a charming rogue, a scoundrel, a cunning mental adversary; oft-sailor, oft-horseman, oft-running from the law. These men and women tend to be excellent fighters, though in the style of riposte and parry, rather than more heavy-handed styles. They are men and women who can hold their drink, whose ability to find treasure and the like is simply uncanny. They are an enigma, and as likely to pinch your bum as look at you.

Knave's Charm
This ability of the Swashbuckler is their way of using their innate charm to the greatest advantage; using this ability, which they have available once per day, increases their charisma, and their parry, perform, persuade, pick pocket, and bluff skills. The duration is based on the level of the Swashbuckler (in that class).

Bravado
This ability of the Swashbuckler functions the same as the War Cry spell; except that the level of the Swashbuckler factors in.
