[ID : Drawing of a dark skinned elf, with pointed ears, brown eyes and pale blonde hair and eyebrows. They’re sitting down with elbows on their thighs and hands between their knees, hunched over and looking back over their right shoulder. They’re wearing purple and grey armor with gold accents, and short sleeves that show off their forearm, the right one who is adorned with a blue vine tattooed all around it. At their side is a large glowing gold sword that is eminating light. The background is dark purple, and flowers behind them, of the same oragne tone as the hilt of their sword.]
I might not have the greatest love for Pathfinder 2e, but I recognize that other people enjoy it, so on occasion I want to offer something to fans of 2e that wish to implement elements from 1e into their game.
Today’s subject was my first attempt to do so, a reimagining of the Veiled Blade archetype for Swashbucklers into a style for the second edition of the class! After all, there is definitely merit in having a swashbuckler that can keep on the down low until it is time to dramatically reveal their ruse, often with their blade buried, or at least at the throat, of an enemy.
Veiled Blade Style - Swashbuckler
You might be as brash and daring as any swashbuckler, but your foes won’t know it until it is too late. Through a combination of disguise and concealed weaponry you can infiltrate nearly anywhere under the guise of a noncombatant. You are trained in Stealth and gain the Experienced Smuggler skill feat. You regain panache when you succeed on an attack with a weapon that the foe did not know you were carrying, or whenever you succeed on a skill check or a foe fails a skill check where the end result is the foe not realizing that you are hostile to it. This includes deception checks to lie or impersonate, or stealth checks to conceal a weapon.
Exemplary Finisher
The foe is Clumsy 2 for two rounds
A simple build, but one I hope provides some interesting elements for a player to use in their game.

Realized I never posted this; a bunch of my friends were making crack ship art of Glasgow and their own OCs b/c he’s a flirty fuck - and Marty (Orenn, Marty is a fake name ur he still goes by it), who I play in an ongoing campaign, was getting no love (jk he weirdly gets a lot of love)
