The Duelist is a nimble, intelligent fighter trained in making
precise attacks with light weapons, such as the rapier. Also known as
the swashbuckler, the Duelist always takes full advantage of his quick
reflexes and wits in a fight. Rather than wearing bulky armor, Duelists
feel that the best way to protect themselves is to not get hit at all.

NOTES:
Duelist loses Canny Defense, Precise Strike, and Grace while wearing any armor or shield.
Could not implement PnP's Improved Reaction, +2 bonus to
initiative. So I gave them the Thug feat, as it is the closes thing to
it.
Could not implement PnP's Enhanced Mobility, +4 AC vs. Attacks of
Opportunity. That bonus would stack with mobility... I gave them Spring
Attack instead as that was the closest thing to it.
