New HLA's for Swashbucklers Options

[Sikret]

Swashbucklers will no longer have access to "Use Any Item" HLA. Instead, I decided to add other HLA's for them. So far, four HLA's are added:

They already had access to one warrior HLA; so, I decided to add three more (though the total numbers of these new HLA's they can pick are fewer than the numbers a warrior can pick):

- Hardiness
- Critical Strike
- Resist Magic

I also added one new HLA:

- Acrobatic Combat

Description:

By using this ability, a high level swashbuckler can improve his agility and fighting expertise (in both defense and attack) to an extraordinary level. Acrobatic Combat grants +6 bonus to AC and +3 bonus to THAC0 for 5 rounds.

Suggestions for more new HLA's are welcome.*

Thanks.

* Ideas for new HLA's should be original (not copied or taken from other mods).

Reason for edit: Fixing typos

Most of the time I used my Swashbuckler with Mirror Image and Stoneskin scrolls in addition to the Evade and Avoid Death HLAs to keep him alive. SometimesI also added Tensers Transformation and Protection from Magic Weapons Scrolls. Those were plenty for Vanilla and some other tactics mods.

Seeing you added Hardiness, Resist Magic and Acrobatic Combat to his abilities, I think Swashbucklers will have enough defense to offset the loss of scroll usage and item unrestriction (by removing Use Any Item).
I would probably test these HLAs first.



Btw, don't Swashbucklers get the Alchemy ability to create potions? There's a good strength potion that they can construct. Do you think it will be a bit too good for a combination with Critical Strike?
