TwistedSistr's PDK Swashbuckling Ice Bard

This has been a fun experiment for me.  PDK Swashbuckling Ice Bard.  Some things to note to make this work.  Charisma based.  PDK's Cormyrean Knight Training allows you to use Charisma for attack and damage, but only if you use a sword.  Swashbucking requires wielding a finesse able or thrown weapon.  So that limits this build to JUST shortswords.  Trap skill are good IF you have the gear, gear is a must.
