1) Swashbucklers get the full thieving percentage points per level as a regular thief. Or more likely, the most of any thief kit if all you play is kits (25 pts per level).
2) Swashbucklers HOWEVER have some bugs with what weapons they can SPECIALIZE in. Some weapons are not allowed for specialization, particularly the katana.
3) Also, swashbucklers, as of the latest english patch, do NOT receive the extra 1/2 attack per round that other classes/kits receive when putting in 2 stars for a weapon proficiency. Most players offset this with the boots of speed, so they hardly even notice this. What I don't know is if this was a conscious game design decision by the developers or not.
4) This part I'm not too sure: A Shapeshifter druid unfortunately does not become a Greater Wolfwere. It receives the ability to become a Greater WEREwolf. This may disappoint those who were expecting the superhigh regeneration of the WolfWERE. |
