Message:Rather than immunity as level n+, maybe via skill roll? Panic is Out of Ordinary, Dire is Difficult, Tricked Tasking, Flat Footed Impossible w/wound penalty at high level... Although, maybe, just, maybe that extra wound becomes a Swashbuckler-only penalty? That would be a first!
Nah, guess the fiat is the point! *smiley*
