arcane duelist

[Trinoya]

So, months back I came upon this class, and now it sadly seems I can't find it anymore on the WOTC website. Does anyone have a copy or a link to where I can find it by any chance.

The class seems pretty solid, especially for a PRC that is charisma focused, as such I am pretty highly interested in it for my bard paladin.

Just checked WOTC Website... and it looks a lot of the D&D 3.5 stuff has been removed. Looks like they are either preparing to release some kind of Compendium, or they just don't want to endorse 3.5 anymore to any degree.

-.-

So many lost classes and alternate class abilities...

So many lost feats....

WHY!?

Here's a link to the Arcane Duelist PrC. (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/re/20030224a)

All of the Web stuff for 3.x has been moved to the WotC archive. This has been discussed in many other threads. To find it, you need to change the "www" in the address to "archive" (make sure to do this before you visit the page, because otherwise the website will automatically change the URL to something useless). For Arcane Duelist, it's here (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/re/20030224a).

Now, then, about the class itself, it gets some very nice bonuses... but it's on a half-BAB chassis, which means that even with those nice bonuses, it only just barely keeps up, if that. Where it really shines, though, is in a gestalt game, where you get all those nice bonuses and can still keep your conventional fighting skills up. Imagine a duskblade//arcane duelist, using a full-attack channel and a flurry of swords together.
