Certain swashbucklers fight with such confidence that their style and lack of worry makes them almost impervious, as if they were armored in their own panache. The blade of panache is less focused on killing or disabling opponents, preferring to show off and humiliate, but they can be lethal when the situation calls for it.
Class Information

Blade Whip (Ex): At 4th level, wile the blade of panache has at least 1 panache point and is wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon, the blade of panache can inflict nonlethal damage without the usual -4 attack penalty.
Uncanny Panache (Ex): At 7th level, wile the blade of panache has at least 1 panache point, she gains the benefits of the uncanny dodge rogue class feature. This is not cumulative with the evasive deed, the blade of panache only gains uncanny dodge once. This replaces the targeted strike deed.
Panache Maneuver (Ex): At 7th level the blade of panache can expend one panache point to add a bonus to a combat maneuver equal to his Charisma modifier. This bonus also applies as a bonus to armor class against an any attack of opportunity triggered by the combat maneuver. Alternatively, the blade of panache can expend one panache point to add add her Charisma bonus to combat maneuver defense until the end of her next turn. Using panache maneuver is not an action. This replaces targeted strike.
Sap Will (Ex): At 11th level the blade of panache can expend one panache point to use Bluff to feint or Intimidate to demoralize as a swift action. If she chooses demoralize, she can roll to demoralize each opponent she hits during the round. This replaces bleeding wound.
Charmed Life (Ex)
It is not an action for the blade of panache to use charmed life; it can be used at any time.
