Suggest dodge as a swash replacement feat for finesse
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2023 12:21 am
Hi there, when weapon finesse was given free to melee classes awhile back it was indicated that classes such as Rogue and Swashbuckler which had weapon finesse as class feats would get alternate feats instead to balance the relative loss of a feat.
Rogue has subsequently been given dirty fighting (as well as other reworks).
I suggest Swashbuckler should get the dodge feat free in place of finesse (at level 1) as it fits thematically with swashbuckler, ties in with free mobility at 7 to allow lead in to weapon master builds, and also is not a huge power bump given deep swash is generally a bit underpowered atm and there are no real swash dip meta builds which would get significantly boosted.
Thanks for considering.
