A Swashbuckler excels in single combat, and can fight with two weapons while safely darting away from an opponent.
Greyhawk Schooled in fencing, but not nearly as much as they claim, the true mark of a swashbuckler is pluck!

Subclass Features
Fancy Footwork
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn how to land a strike and then slip away without reprisal. During your turn, if you make a melee attack against a creature, that creature can't make opportunity attacks against you for the rest of your turn.
Rakish Audacity
Starting at 3rd level, your confidence propels you into battle. You can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Charisma modifier.
You also gain an additional way to use your Sneak Attack; you don't need advantage on the attack roll to use your Sneak Attack against a creature if you are within 5 feet of it, no other creatures (incapacitated creatures do not count) are within 5 feet of you, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll. All the other rules for Sneak Attack still apply to you.
Finally, you can take a bonus action to use Charisma (Persuasion) to trick an opponent within 5 ft. Make a roll with a DC equal to target's passive Wisdom (Insight). If you succeed, the target is Stunned until the end of your current turn.
Panache
At 9th level, your charm becomes extraordinarily beguiling. As a bonus action, you can make a Charisma (Persuasion) check contested by a creature's Wisdom (Insight) check. The creature must be able to hear you, and the two of you must share a language. After you succeed or fail to use this ability, you cannot try again against the same target until 1 minute has elapsed.
If you succeed on the check and the creature is hostile to you, you gain advantage on attack rolls against the creature, it has disadvantage on attack rolls against all targets other than you and can't make opportunity attacks against targets other than you. This effect lasts for 1 minute, until it scores a hit against you, until one of your companions attacks the target or affects it with a spell, or until you and the target are more than 60 feet apart.
If you succeed on the check and the creature isn't hostile to you, it is charmed by you for 1 minute. While charmed, it regards you as a friendly acquaintance. This effect ends immediately if you or your companions do anything harmful to it.
Elegant Maneuver
Starting at 13th level, you can use a bonus action on your turn to gain advantage on the next Charisma, Dexterity (Acrobatics), or Strength (Athletics) check you make during the same turn.
Master Duelist
Beginning at 17th level, your mastery of the blade lets you turn failure into success in combat. If you miss with an attack roll, you can roll it again with advantage. Once you do so, you can't use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.
