So, just to start - this product has some super interesting ideas, and even though I think it needs work I would recommend picking it up! It's fun and flavorful, even though it could use work

16 styles - Great flavor, Love the ideas, Could use a balancing pass. All but a couple of these are really evocative, they feel like cool swashbucklers. At the very least I thought "this is cool" for all but one of them. The balance of them is by and large at least... reasonable. A couple like Candelabrist and Dour Militant are very specific in their flavor and expected playstyle. Some of the others feel like they're practically giving away panache, at least one is guaranteed panache while others will pretty much passively end up giving you panache for just striking people. Other than these criticisms, they're really flavorful - and I think only one of them is poorly-balanced enough to actually warrant changes at my table.

Would recommend, but about half of the styles look like might cause enough variation from Swashbuckler's base gameplay to warrant alterations, but this will likely vary by table - some of these are a godsend for a table that thinks base swashbucklers have too hard a time getting panache!

16 feats - A little less enthused than the styles, but the diamonds are beautiful Reading these, there were a couple diamonds that really caught my eye, that I absolutely love! To the Pain and Deadly Diagnosis are great. So evocative I can see a character using these feats and loving them, and they look reasonably balanced too. A couple of the feats here look too strong for being first-level, but not so far that I'd recommend changes. Others look a bit weak, or have requirements that feel like a disconnect between my expectations and implementation. A few feats here are definitely designed for one of the styles in particular, but then don't actually do anything for that style (in one case it probably exacerbates a probable issue the style runs into while it alleviates a different one).

Overall It's a good supplement, and it feels worth its price! It's dense and has enough quality content to justify its price. If using this content I'd recommend keeping an eye on some of the balance, but it's overall good enough to include as options for my tables!
