Specifics
At 3rd level, a swashbuckler becomes able to place her finesse attacks where they deal greater damage. She applies her Intelligence bonus to damage rolls (in addition to any Strength bonus she may have) with any light weapon, as well as any other weapon that can be used with Weapon Finesse, such as a rapier. Targets immune to sneak attacks or critical hits are immune to the swashbuckler’s insightful strike. A swashbuckler cannot use this ability when wearing medium or heavy armor or when encumbered.
Use
Automatic

Notes[]

  1. Epic Precision allows the Swashbuckler to apply full Insightful Strike damage to foes immune to sneak attacks or critical hits
  2. If a swashbuckler wears medium or heavy armor, she loses Insightful Strike damage but keeps the attribute damage from Weakening and Wounding Critical
  3. Insightful Strike:
    • stacks with Combat Insight
    • is multiplied on a critical hit
    • will reduce damage with a negative Intelligence modifier
    • works with a shield equipped and while fighting unarmed
    • does not work with creature weapons (these don't benefit from Weapon Finesse)
    • works independently of dual-wielding. Specifically, while dual-wielding:
      • Insightful strike will deliver full damage from the attacker's intelligence modifier in the off-hand
      • Combat Insight will still deliver half damage from the attacker's intelligence modifier in the off-hand
