Swashbucklers are rambunctious adventurers, doing tricks and feats of both linguistic and physical acrobatics to produce a wonder in both their foes and friends which they channel into their acts, improving them.
<br><br>
==== Panache ====
''1st Level Swashbuckler Feature''<br>
''You know how to manipulate yourself and your words to get into better positions, both physical and mental, to strike.'' You can spend 1 Action to make a Check to atttempt to gain Panache, a resource used by many of your Swashbuckler Features. When you make this Check, you either choose a Skill or Stat, you then make a Check against [DC]. On a succesful Check, you gain Panache. [I don't know how much the DC would be or how much Panache you'd get, my thought would be to have it be you get 1 Panache for every 5 on your result, but that's just an idea.]<br>
'''Table Talk:''' This feature is a great way to add a ton of flavor to your character, and it could be super fun to describe your character bounding off of tables or insulting the hostile dragon.
<br><br>
==== Panache Maneuvers ====
''1st Level Swashbuckler Feature''<br>
''Swashbucklers act with fliair, and the wonder they instill in others only helps to facilitate that.'' You gain the following ways to spend Panache. [some more ideas are necessary]
*'''Striking Flair.''' You can spend 1 Action and 1 Panache to Attack and add a d4 to your Attack Roll.
*'''Clever Insult.''' You can spend 1 Action and 2 Panache to Demorilize, subtracting a d4 from your target's Check.
'''Table Talk:''' Talk about whether or not there could be some additional ways to spend Panache, or if there might be opportunities in specific scenarios to spend Panache, not listed here.
