Three levels in Battlemaster Fighter gets you the maneuvers Brace, and Riposte to use your reaction to attack when your opponent approaches you or miss an attack against you in melee. Two Sneak Attacks in one round!
I don't hate taking some paladin (oath of the crown theme wise maybe), I mean which paladin subclass do you know that would hate it if they have to target you 1 on 1? 😂
@@woutvanostaden1299paladins dont need dex and rogues dont need strength so the multiclass is inherently wasting some points, it is decent despite this though.
@@textoffender3410 Having "some dex" doesn't hurt a paladin. Afterall there are plenty of paladin builds builds that use shields, making shield master better (though inferior to rogues evasion) for this dex is needed. Besides I hate the "clunky paladin" that ruins stealth for the party stereotype. Strength rogues are, while harder to build, vary decent and so combining it with paladin, in the case of swasbuckler or a very lucky arcane trickster statwise, is really not that crazy in my opinion.
@woutvanostaden1299 You only need a plus one in either stat to multiclass, which has never hurt anyone. Sneak Attack only requires a Finesse or Ranged Weapon, which means you can use a rapier with strength and be fine, and a Dex based paladin is a very easy thing to build, so you can even stick to Dex. Swashbuckler Rogues are also less likely to be the sneaky types, which means investing in Strength over Dex is much safer for party function. Don't shut down a fun multiclass idea just because it takes the barest effort to make it work. Either ditch the plate mail and go sword and board, or be a knight using a rapier. Both of these can be done and are incredibly fun.
I actually played a Bard/Rogue multiclass using the Swashbuckler and he was an absolute BEAST in almost everything. pair that up with Swords Bard and you have the Jack-of-all-trades master-of-all character that will make your DM cry.
Swashbuckler will be good even in 5.24 if we multiclass with valor bard, any warlock (theme wise I'd would probably pick archfey or fiend {for a davy jones type of character or fathom warlock or undead}) or paladin (theme wise any of the 5.24 are good and even conquest could be cool), that is nog to say that sorcerer would be terrible, but I like having extra attack!
Swashbuckler is excellent with multiclassing with classes like hexblade, fighter, Kensai monk, bladesinger wizard, war domain cleric, bard, hell it can't go wrong in a build.
@TheCelticCowboy98 You can technically dump Charisma and the subclass will still work with like half the multiclasses. Source: Colin Provolone from the Ravening War. Battlemaster/Swashbuckler with an 8 Charisma and he was one of the strongest combatants in every fight
Fae wanderer can work quite well with WIS using magic stone, that also works well for your CHA skills so you don't need it that high. Even just +1 will do since the rest is supported by "high" WIS. 8 STR, 10 INT, 12 CHA, 13 CON, 14+2 WIS and 15+1 DEX will get you there. Of course with point buy you could optimise more for I think it was 2, 16s 2, 14s and 2, 8s.
Imo the only downside of the subclass is that the panache feature doesn't come until level 9 which means it either takes forever to reach your most fun ability or you never even get it depending on what level the campaign you're playing goes to
If the Antonio Banderas bit means I'll have some sort of interaction with Catherine Zeta-Jones or Penelope Cruz, I guess I'll have to play as many swashbucklers as it takes for that to happen.
Yep 1 of my favorites. Theme wise we can go crown, redemption, devotion, ancients, watchers, oathbreaker, vengeance (classic😂), glory, conquest or if it's allowed open sea. Each giving it a whole new dynamic. (Watchers has bonkers initiative) 😅
I’ve played a swashbuckler/swords Bard. He was wicked! Actually, I should say “They” . It was a changling and had male and female personas. I highly recommend this build.
To me the Swashbuckler is like the opposite of the Whisper Bard, everything works together both mechanically and thematically and none of the abilities seem useless unlike Whisper Bard which has some good things but doesn't really seem like it knows if it wants to be and a lot of the abilities are just functionally the same as spells you have access to way earlier.
one of my favourite experiences of all time is my Swashbuckler tabaxi. a perfect mix of danger, charisma, dangerous charisma and minus modificator in intelligence. a great mix of MVP and a comic relief at once. i played two campaigns with her and most likely will do it again!
I think one of the most underrated pop culture swashbucklers is Agent Dutchess, aka Sterling Archer. This is a great class if you want to feel like a secret agent.
Ooooh maaaan. I was planning on making a Bard of Valor character, but now seeing this, I'm making it a Swashbuckler Sword Bard. Charmer both on and off the battlefield in every single way. And then with his Glamour Bard wife as his partner, literally everyone should just bow down to them.
as someone who focus so much into the narrative & rp side swahbuckler is the perfect combo to multiclass a hexblade, a echo knight and even a bladesinger. great video, man!
Actually for Thieves Cant, I always point to Octopath Traveler's use of Cockney Rhyming Slang. That seems like the best idea for Cant. It isn't a language so much as its a series of symbolic words that don't make sense, at least unless you understand the symbolism. So its why non-thieves don't get it, because its a you know if you know thing.
To me, only one background is made particularly for this subclass: the “Sailor” background with the “Pirate” feature. I think a Buccaneer character would suit this style better.
I thought thieves’ cant was a combination of inconspicuous small talk and hand gestures to say something else. Like an outsider would just see a pair of Italians talking about their families, weather, and Geiger counters.
I grew up watching a The Three Musketeers cartoon on TV. I always wanted to play a dex based figther who does hit and run and is socially graceful. This is the main reason I bought XGtE.
I play a Swashbuckler Hexblade. Prince Victus wants to be known in Waterdeep as the best duelist in history while also shooting lightning from his fingers.
it'd be a small dip but like even Swashbuckler 5 and Horizon Walker X, have fun walking/Poofing about the battlefield hitting multiple people then just walking away with fancy foot work from all of them. Call that one the "now you see me" build. Even with just like a +2 Cha pulls work. doesnt utilize all the greatness the subclass has but gets good mileage out of it
The way i think of thieves cant is that it depends on the location and context. Being un those different locations can change the dialect completely. Go to Neverwinter and the phrase "the pigs have swallowed the rooster's clutch" can mean something somewhat different in Baldur's gate, and something COMPLETELY different a different nation. All cant means is slang and colloquial; different places use it while others don't
Playing a Swashbuckler/Hexblade. What do you all think I should call him? Hexbuckler or Swashblade? Also; can Panache be used against multiple targets simmul... simultain.... at the same time? I've read the description and it isn't definitive. I want to use it while I'm using the spell "Enthrall".
The wording of Panache only uses singular. Features and spells that can be used against multiple targets simultaneously tend to say so explicitly. Panache can therefore only be used against one target at a time. Also, please do not cast Enthrall during combat (unless other party members are using stealth mid-combat for some reason, like they're other Rogues, or Rangers, for example). Enthrall only affects Perception checks, and you do not need to roll Perception checks in combat unless someone is using the Hide Action. It seems odd for a Rogue to cast Enthrall, as one would expect the Rogue to be the one to go into hiding while someone else acts as a distraction. Also be aware that Enthrall has a verbal component, so it's not really possible to cast it without someone noticing you're casting a spell.
Panache isn't a spell. It's a class feature. I agree that making multiple skill checks would be inappropriate, but making one persuasion check vs. a roomful of people making insight(?) checks to resist should be fine. Also, Enthrall is for stealth and non-combat situations like when distraction is a thing.@@theuncalledfor
Imagine a swashbuckler who had to make a deal with a devil or eldritch sea creature, or ect. Once his antics finally caught up to him. A lot of backstory potential.
@@stevenwhitehead8468 Yes, exactly. Don't cast Enthrall _in combat_ because that's not what it's for. It kinda shoots itself in the foot by having a verbal component, though. Then again it says something about a string of words, I guess that could be interpreted as a spell that can hide in plain sight, as in a conversation? Hmm...
You know what would really annoy the bad guys? a Swashbuckler/Echo Knight multiclass! Not only would they have to fight a suave, trash talking rogue who keeps out-maneuvering them, flirting with their would-be girlfriend mid-battle, stabbing them in the butt and humiliating them in front of their peers and boss, but at level eighteen, they'd have to fight three of the bastard!
Personally, when it comes to swashbuckler I like a 3 level dip into Barbarian for bear totem if I have the strength. Pairing panache (a built in taunt) with rage (flavored to be a battle trance, locked in fully in tune with the fight) means the rogue has the survivability it needs to be in melee, and it’s way more fun to have danger sense with evasion
This high Dex high Cha would also be perfect for something like a multiclass into Warlock with a Fathomless patron because you your ship wrecked and you would have died if not for making a pact
You got my sub. Your videos are good, but you have the quirkiest & most interesting RPG adverts of anybody out there. I found out about Obojima through your channel, and this crazy Time Scape stuff, so I'm on board.
Holy shit, someone pronounced Rakish correctly. Also, if you're lookong to multiclass, I'll akways recommend doing so with Fughter, and the best splits are almost always Fighter 13/Rogue 7 or vice versa. That being said, Fighter 8/Rogue 12 gets you 7 ASIs and is always worth considering.
My last character turned in a 8th Level Swashbuckler/Battlemaster amd we once mathed it he could fight and win against a young dragon we used the rolling dice for status and i hand to god accidentally min maxed him and he was a woman/man seducing rapier swinging battle monster good times Andros De Villa Lobos
I’m gonna be playing in a pirate themed one shot next month, personally I’ve picked a swords bard but if I was able to I would love to multi class it with swashbuckler.
Love your vids! Deserve more subs. Swashbuckler is perfect for sea/ ocean sessions. On land? Crabby... hah! Could you do Phantom, Psi Warrior and Draconic Bloodline next? The latter, which seriously should have had the 5 Gem dragon ancestries added in an updated version in Fizban. Sure easy to homebrew it but WotC is notorious for... well letting us do it for them 😂
Swashbuckler rogues and swird bards are just... The same idea? I mean, sword bards have all this lore with being circus performers, but I don't think many people like it. I don't mind it though, it's my favourite character archetype and it's lovely that you can make it in so mechanically different ways.
Anyone thought about taking two levels in Barbarian for that Reckless attack? I mean the Level 18 passive grants you automatic advantage negation against you. You pretty much get advantage on all your attacks for free.
Nothing in the Steady Aim feature states you need a Crossbow or a ranged weapon to use it. Practically it just means you´re hitting with advantage every turn if you have no reason to move away or use your Bonus action otherwise. Also College of Whispers is fun aswell for a Swashbuckler.
i want to play one of these so badly, but anytime i roll up a new character for a new group either: a) we already have a rogue and are lacking something crucial (like a healer or a frontliner) OR...no actually its just that.
Why the barbarian hates the Swashbuckler. Cause every time it seemed a fight was about to start... the swashbucklers panache... and expertise in ever CHA based skill allows him to easily talk their way out of it. The barbarian is really wanting to hit something... mainly the swashbuckler... but somehow... he's to dang charming to hit.
Thieves cant basically means a few words have been assigned different meanings and you know how to work those into an otherwise meaningless sentence to convey a simple idea. Like you might say “Johnny went down to the bakery to buy bread” but the only words that matter are bakery meaning bank and bread meaning money. Or something like that. I spent three seconds on that example
Another one might be an letter saying "this is an invitation to x persons house to play a game of cards with person y" but it really means "come to x persons house for discussion the assassination contract of person y"
Person A: "Thieves cant" Person B "Thieves can't, what?" Person A: "Thieves can't talk about their plans in public without getting in trouble so they use a bunch of words that they have allocated a specific meaning to ... and that's a bit long of a name so let's shorten it to Thieves cant". That should do the trick, 😂😊
“Im a swashbuckler. You’ve rolled a nat 20 against my father, prepare to die”
Good one
"...You crit my father. Prepare to die."
Swashbuckler? I hardly know her! (also FIRST)
Not you being here and doin this lmfao true king

There's one good thing about a lousy capstone... you don't *feel* like _you're missing out_ by multiclassing.

DAMN THEIR INESCAPABLE RIZZ!
