Can you clear up the formatting? Using tables and such would really help improve it's legibility.

As it is, from what I can read... It looks like you kinda just took the best of a bunch of different classes and put it into one chassis. That's a bit overpowered.

[BRKNdevil]

someone in the 5e forum or in the homebrew section did all the formatting already, so just look for that

[PotatoGolem]

As JNA said, the formatting is off. You're also missing skill and save proficiencies.

But yes, this is OP. It's just a bunch of good features from other classes grafted together for a super-class.

[Submortimer]

Yep. There's already a really good swashbuckler Subclass for the rogue, perhaps remaking this as just a subclass for the fighter will get you what you want.
