Archetypes

Source Player Core pg. 215
Character concepts come in infinite possibilities, but you might find that the feats and skill choices from a single class aren't sufficient to fully realize your character. Archetypes allow you to expand the scope of your character's class.

Multiclass Archetypes

Multiclass Archetypes allow you to diversify your training into another class's specialties. You can't select a multiclass archetype's dedication feat if you are already a member of that class.

Multiclass Swashbuckler Characters

The swashbuckler archetype is a great fit for martial characters who want to be a bit flashier or for Charismabased spellcasters who want to add a bit of dramatic flair to their routine. Multiclass swashbucklers work especially well for characters who already want to incorporate skill-based action and seek out daring deeds to do in the heat of battle.
  • Barbarian swashbucklers love to show off their strength and brutality with devastating finishers.
  • Champion swashbucklers can show off the powers of their deity to inspire awe in potential converts and fear in enemies of the faith.
  • Investigator swashbucklers might love to solve big cases with an audience to show off their prowess.
  • Monk swashbucklers can take full advantage of their perfectly trained bodies to perform impressive feats.
  • Rogue swashbucklers might hide in the shadows before emerging to put on a flashy show.
  • Spellcaster swashbucklers might want to show off their mastery of both martial and magical arts.
