Wanted to see if anyone knew if the single weapon fighting feat applied to thrown weapons if you only have the thrown weapon in main hand and nothing in offhand? Or is it only a melee feat? Thanks

I'm pretty sure that a thrown weapon counts as ammo, not a weapon. As such, SWF does not apply.
Swashbuckling: Defensive Stance: You gain 1% Doublestrike and Doubleshot as well as +1 to the Enhancement Bonus of the weapon in your main hand. Swashbuckling requires wielding a Finesseable or Thrown weapon in your main hand, wielding a Buckler or nothing in your off hand, and wearing Light Armor or no armor. (Druids cannot Swashbuckle while in animal forms.)
If you are swashbuckling , thrown weapons count for SWF.
If you aren't swashbuckling thrown weapons don't count for SWF

Swashbuckling does affect thrown weapons yes
SWF does not, even if you are swashbuckling
I assumed it did but was corrected and have tested, it does not...not sure why not though.

Smooth Flourishes: You get Charisma to Damage with weapon attacks Single Weapon Fighting
This means the only way to get dex to damage for throwers is to go halfling (or monk but we're talking bard so...). Unless the assassin dex to damage for daggers applies to throwing daggers, which I haven't tested. Shurikens are where it's at anyway; throwing daggers would still be behind because of the Shuriken Expertise feat.

Well this is no good, I was already disappointed that single weapon fighting doesn't work with thrown weapons, but the damage mods should really work without SWF. Is there any reason they can't let it be "While swashbuckling or single weapon fighting"? I'm not sure that would help anybody but throwers.

Yeah terribly disappointing. On the plus side, it make Halflings that much more powerful as a race. Thanks to their enhancements that add DEX to thrown damage and +1 critical threat range with thrown weapons.
Your character's true power is the sum of all your combined abilities and how well you use them.
