In Complete Mage p32 I've read about a "variant" named Arcane Stunt.

It replaces Swashbacklers Grace class feature for a spell like ability.

Grace is a 2nd level swashbuckler feature. CM says arcane stunt can be selected at 1st level swashbuckler.

Is this a "type-error"?

Eh, that's amusing. I'd say the ability is fine at level 1 personally, but yeah, Grace isn't at level 1. Strange. Probably just a typo.

Eh, it could go either way, considering Wizards editing standards, but I think that it works as written. At first level, you gain Arcane Stunt. At second, you don't get grace. That's it.

What if you don't take the second level of Swashbuckler ever?

Well then you'd make out in the deal.

Hmmm... so you can take a dip in Swashbuckler for only 1 lvl and get 2 features instead of one... how do you call that... :smallwink:


Edit: Pharaoh ninja fist! :smallbiggrin:

Which brings up the question of what happens when you never take a second level? The feature it replaces never comes up... can it just replace nothing? This is more relavent for things like Spontaneous Divination, though. Swashbucklers are usually going to be in three-level dips anyway or as a primary class advancing a Rogue's sneak attack.
