Swashbuckling

Class proficiency — see Proficiencies for the rules and the Proficiency Index for the full list.

If the character is wearing light armor or no armor, and carrying 5 stones or less encumbrance, he gains a +1 bonus to Armor Class. At level 7, this bonus increases to +2, and at level 13 the bonus increases to +3. Swashbuckling proficiency can be stacked with Graceful Fighting and similar class powers to increase the AC bonus, but the bonus from Swashbuckling is capped at +1 unless the character is unarmored.
