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).

Yeah, it's certainly untrue to say that enemies like Skeleton Grandlords or IA golems will always hit - with the right buffs and equipment these enemies will be hitting under half the time. Remember that, as well as spells that improve AC, there are spells that affect the enemy to-hit rolls (e.g. Doom, Improved Invisibility, Protection from Evil). You can combine these with a low AC (plus weapon type-specific bonuses) to achieve an incredibly low effective AC of around -30. There aren't many enemies with a THAC0 or -20 or better.
