Ryojin:
Swashbuckler is the parkour champ.
Moving "slightly" faster is not what I mean when I say "Dungeon Parkour". Martial Artist has every movement skill except Swimming on it's Template as well as the special abilities/skills of Spider Climb*, Super Jump*, Light Walk, Cat Fall*, Perfect Balance*, Flexibility/Double Jointed...
The only thing the Martial Artist is missing from my personal list of "parkour skills" is Escape and Urban Survival. Which the Thief, the 'slow' dungeon parkourist, has (by 'slow' I mean he isn't leaping across chasms or running up walls, but anywhere the MA can get fast, the Thief can get slowly).

while the swashbuckler can have
BSPD 10 BM 10
Every one can. Eventually. If they buy up DX and HT... ;)
But yes, yes, Squishybocklers will always be the Basic Speed queens.
* Spider CLimb is on the DFRPG Template, Super Jump, Catfall, and Perfect Balance are on the DF Template. I allow my Players to use both Templates for special abilities... and to suggest Power-Ups from out of book if they are thematically appropriate. For instance I had a Martial Artist who could Breathe Fire and summon Dragon Scales (temporary DR) as he studied Dragon Man Kung Fu.
Dungeon Parkour skills: Acrobatics, Climbing, Escape, Hiking, Jumping, Running, Urban Survival. For a City Parkour list I add Area Know (City).

In Mother Shevnia.. you not make template... template make YOU!
TRUTH!
Narrator:
I like other barbarian builds than the "must have disguise animals and animal mimicry because you Must have every skill that gets a bonus from the talent" I am more open to modding a template to ditch anachronistic and useless skills from it.
This is a fact... considering that Jednesa is a Barbarian in name only*. She has no survival skills or Outdoorsman. SHe's actually a city girl... if only she were allowed in the city again.
* And strength, toughness, Frazettaness, and propensity to accidentally level buildings.
Narrator:
And ending the rant,
If you are going off book, I need to see a little formatting in character submissions; (I also have some ADD as part of my collection of mental disads) and am usually using my phone.
Glad to know my obsession with formatting isn't a problem... /thumbsup.jpg
