Welcome to Mystara: Dueling in the Savage Coast

Better Antonio Banderas movie, The Mask of Zorro or 13th Warrior?

There's also The Spanish School & The Italian School fighting styles you can use or modify. From HR4 A Mighty Fortress Campaign Sourcebook TSR9370 pages 62-63.

You seem like a decent fellow. I hate to die.

It sound like a better option would be to steal the rules for fencing/dueling from a RPG that has that as a major mechanic system and converting it to be compatible with D&D.

"Two men with a belly full of fear.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls... Dyin' time's here."

Pistol duels and no reference to the dinner party duel from Dishonoured? A missed opportunity :P

Timothy Dalton references always welcome

Called shot left eye socket 🙂.

Have you considered the Dodge/parry feat option
Your character loses 1/2 hp but gains equal amount of dodge/parry points
As long as your mobile and an attacker only hits with less than 10+ on an attack
You can reduce damage by spending DP points
You regain all DP points after a short rest but not from magic healing
You can’t spend DP in med or heavier armor or paralyzed
Using DP while restrained or blind requires a acrobatics/ perception roll

@Mr_Welch What about Darokin? I thought they were also duel happy? Aren't there any rules from that Gazetteer to incorporate?

@Mr_Welch Have you started to build an Ark, yet? Lol. Just how much rain have you actually gotten so far?

To the Death, No... To the Pain

The Savage Coast Campaign Book slightly expands on the Red Steel Swashbuckler & Honorbound kits.
