That's what I thought about the belt, some items does allow you to remove them after a certain time, but I didn't think that the belt was one of them.<br/><br/>I've never played a swashbuckler this high, so even with a miss and no ripost, the damage was respectable. If all of the attacks hit and I get into the 15-20  roll area, the damage is impressive. Therotically, if all of the rolls are good, the max for Laura is 176 points of damage, if there's a successful parry and ripost, that jumps to 238... that riposte is harsh when it works with a crit... that's all assuming that the roll is over 14, of course.
