Ah... I see. I looked it up in the online SRD for the 3.5 rules, and here's what it has for Duelist: [INDENT]DUELIST Hit Die: d10. Requirements To qualify to become a duelist, a character must fulfill all the following criteria. Base Attack Bonus: +6. Skills: Perform 3 ranks, Tumble 5 ranks. Feats: Dodge, Mobility, Weapon Finesse. Class Skills The duelist’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Balance (Dex), Bluff (Cha), Escape Artist (Dex), Jump (Str), Listen (Wis), Perform (Cha), Sense Motive (Wis), Spot (Wis), and Tumble (Dex).[/INDENT] The Layonara PrC has the following: [INDENT]* Hit Die: d10 * Proficiencies: A duelist is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, but does not gain any armor or shield proficiencies. * Skill Points: 4 + Intelligence Modifier * Class Skills: Bluff, Craft Armor, Craft Trap, Craft Weapon, Discipline, Heal, Listen, Parry, Perform, Spot, Tumble * High Saving Throw(s): Reflex * BAB: Main Requirements: * BAB: +6 * Feats: Dodge, Ambidexterity, Mobility, Weapon Proficiency (Martial, Rogue or Elf),Weapon Focus: Rapier * Skills: Tumble 5 ranks, Persuade 5 ranks[/INDENT] Since it looks like Persuade was subbed for Perform in order to make this a class not specific to Bards, it just seemed that Persuade ought to have been a class skill rather than Perform. Oh well...
