I figure this had already been brought up and discussed, but I couldn't seem to find it.
Basically, my question is why the Different Tack enhancement requires Single Weapon Fighting to be in use rather than the swashbuckling stance. It seems like an entirely unnecessary nerf to people who want to make use of swashbuckling's bonuses to throwers. Not only do throwers really not have any sort of combat style feat that applies to them, but because SWF only works with melee, they can't benefit from a deviated damage ability like most other weapons can.
I am aware of the halfling racial enhancement for throwers, and the harper tree, but being able to use Different Tack without SWF or getting to use SWF with throwers (and not other ranged weapons) would just make so much more sense.
