In most swashbuckling fiction, the heroes engage in heroic antics without the impediment of armor, yet in Dungeons and Dragons. And related games), the only thing (short of magic) that saves an unarmored adventurer from having the worst armor class is a bonus for high dexterity. As a partial remedy for this, I recommend allowing swashbucklers who abstain from wearing armor to take advantage of armor class bonuses for both high dexterity and.

Theoretical Swashbuckling: Renaissance Firearms
