Duelist
Source Player Core 2 pg. 197All across the world, students in fencing academies practice with their weapons to master one-on-one combat. The libraries of these schools contain troves of information, detailing hundreds of combat techniques, battle stances, and honorable rules of engagement. Those who gain admission to such training classes might duel in formalized settings.and that's certainly the more genteel route to take. However, others assert that there's no better training ground for duels than the chaotic life of an adventurer. In such situations, a flexible, single-handed fighting style is invaluable. You never know when youÂfll need an extra hand to shove a foe, haul open a door, or grab valuable loot. You can accomplish such deeds with style and grace. Regardless of your method, fighters such as you are feared across the land.
Additional Feats
Source Player Core pg. 215 2.0Some archetypes include a list of âAdditional Featsâ that appear in other sources. The list includes each featâs level, which might be different than normal when gained from the archetype. You can take the feat as an archetype feat of that level, meaning it counts toward the number of feats required by the archetypeâs dedication feat. When selected this way, a feat that normally has a classâs trait (such as the fighter trait) doesnât have that class trait.
