Fencing Style
Cost: By Class
Classes Allowed: Fighter, Rogue
The fencing style is a fighting style most often associted with swashbucklers, although the occasional buccaneer or rogue will also use the style. The user must have a minimum Dexterity of 12 and may not weararmo heavoer than leather. To fence, the user must have a rapier, saber or other fencing weapon, all other weapons are ineligible. The user may use a main-gauche or a buckler in his off hand. The user gains no bonus to hit, damage, or in number of attacks. Instead, the user gains a -2 initiative bonus and a +1 AC bonus while using this style. Note that fencing may be combined with regular weapon specialization to create a dangerous opponent. An important disadvantage to fencing is that the AC bonus provides protection only against melee attacks. Any missile attacks against the fencer completely ignore the AC bonus.This fighting style is for use with the standard fighting style rules and not to be used with the optional rules on this site.Thanks to Dan for the submission.
