It was fun, 22 dex, combat reflexes, rapier trading = Improved crit from like 4th level on, and 5 points of panache. I walked up to the big bad and did smite evil and parried him (TWICE) @ +22' and his minions at +19. Poked him in the face twice as he attacked, the minions once each. Got 3 of the 5 panache back after my parries,Meehan they realized the other Pali was untouchable with a defensive AC in the high-30s. The decided the 2nd round that it was better to flank and hope an 17+ than try and stick me. Then he crit with his earth breaker and the could figure what was worse. The Parry-mistress or the hammer of God.
