STATISTICSStr 12, Dex 17, Con 14, Int 14, Wis 10, Cha 8 SPECIAL ABILITIESDueling MasteryThe swordlord gains a +2 bonus on Initiative checks whenever she starts combat with a dueling sword in her hand. As long as she wields only a single dueling sword in one hand, she gains a +2 shield bonus to AC; if she wields the sword in two hands, this bonus decreases to +1. Defensive Parry (Ex)When the swordlord makes a full attack with a dueling sword, she gains a +1 bonus to AC against melee attacks until the beginning of her next turn. Deft Strike (Ex)The swordlord can add her Dexterity bonus on damage rolls made with a dueling sword instead of using her Strength bonus. This bonus on damage applies whether she is wielding a dueling sword one-handed or two-handed, though she does not apply 1-1/2 times her Dexterity bonus on damage rolls while fighting two-handed. She cannot use this ability if she is wielding a shield or an off-hand weapon, including armor spikes, unarmed strikes, or natural weapons. Disarming Strike (Ex)When the swordlord successfully disarms an opponent using a dueling sword, she also deals normal damage to the target, but without the normal Strength (or Dexterity) bonus to damage. |
