The Swashbuckler is a character class in the Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 edition that was introduced in the Complete Warrior.
The Swashbuckler is a combat oriented class that emphasizes finesse, style and flair, combining martial prowess with amazing acrobatics to outmaneuver opponents. With a d10 for hit points and a 1/1 base attack bonus advancement, the swashbuckler can be an effective frontline fighter, though their inability to wear medium or heavy armours while using their class features limits their capacity somewhat. The ability to deal strength (weakness critical class feature) and constitution damage (wounding critical class feature), as well as the ability to charge in difficult terrain (acrobatic charge class feature) can makes the swashbuckler a formidable opponent in battle.
No currently published race has the Swashbuckler as a favored class.
[edit] In Neverwinter Nights
In the computer game Neverwinter Nights, swashbuckler may be selected as a character package for the rogue class. The swashbucker package focuses more on hand-to-hand combat and persuasion than the other rogue packages do.
