(Combat)
You have embraced the Roaring Falls method of Aldori swordplay, known for its elegant, sweeping strikes.
Prerequisites
Aldori Dueling Disciple,
Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Aldori dueling sword),
Weapon Finesse,
Weapon Focus (Aldori dueling sword), base attack bonus +5.
Benefit
When you use an Aldori dueling sword to deal damage to a
Shaken,
Frightened, or
Panicked foe, you can add your
Dexterity bonus to damage rolls instead of your
Strength bonus. If you can already add your
Dexterity bonus to damage rolls, you instead gain a +1
Competence Bonus on damage rolls made with an Aldori dueling sword. When you attempt a dueling parry during a duel, the penalty on your attack roll to parry is reduced from -5 to -3. To gain these benefits, you must be wielding only an Aldori dueling sword (not using a shield, an off-hand weapon, armor spikes, unarmed strikes, or natural weapons).
