Im going into a server in one of the guilds as a Pirate/salior, I know they are Dexers, becasue of the sword play and one shot pistols, I was wondering what would be a good Swash buckler build? Able to Dodge and do heavy amounts of damage but take medium to little damage at that, Would it be possable, or would you need a str build for it? Im just really confused, So im acking you all for help. What can i do for ideas, on makeing a Swash Buckler! Yarrr... Savvy...

Should do good for your theme. How about a Bard/RDD/WM Dev Crit Whip build? You could be the "Quartermaster" of the crew who flogs people who get out of line.

That may leave you a little feat starved... let's see, if you forego IKD, Blindfight and the like you still need to take:
01. Weapon Focus (not much of a prob there)
02. Expertise
03. Dodge
04. Mobility
05. Spring Attack
06. Whirlwind
07. Power Attack
08. Cleave
09. Great Cleave
10. Improved Criticals

With no Bonus feats, that's gonna spill over into Epic - and you won't get many boni there either. And if you take KD/IKD/Blindfight as well as Overwhelming and Dev, then that's a total of 15 feats - all of your non bonus feats as a human

Nice concept though, but if you want to go the whip route WM is in my humble opinion almost a nesecity (since the +2 to crit range and +1 to multiplier are static, unlike Imp Crit). Personally, I'd be in favour of a boring old Ftr/Rogue/WM (heavy on the Rogue, gotta love that class )

Just my $0.02... Oh, and yes, I do realise it isn't dex based.
