 If Isabela is a Swashbuckler why can't she wield a shield? I don't mean big tower shields I mean bucklers & light wooden ones. Given the fact that she has no armor & one swing would take of an arm I think it's not too out there to want a rogue w/ shield option

That's because swashbucklers swash at bucklers worn by other people.

This is a really important question for me & I haven't got any reasonable explanation & would like a Dev to comment on this issue please


http://dictionary.re...er]Swashbuckler[/url]: a swaggering swordsman, soldier, or adventurer; daredevil.

The term does not, and never did, have anything to do with wearing a buckler.

Good thing this isn't the 16th century or Mary Kirby would have egg all over her face with that one, then. Meanings change all the time. This thread could hardly be more pointless.


You don't have to wear a buckler to strike someone else's buckler with your sword.

But then what if the opponent doesn't have shield either, does Isabela's specialization turn off? Posted Image


She ceases to exist in a puff of logic.

Seriously? This is the "important answer" that someone needed from a dev?

You're ruining his sandwich. Why could you not have stuck to wheat, which was clearly good enough for previous lunches?

Rest assured, I won't be buying any bread based snacks from your company in the future.


This caused a guffaw loud enough that it made co-workers come into my office to see what was so damn funny. Well played.
