Quote:Swashbuckling: Stance:
Passive: While Swashbuckling, the following weapons receive Competence bonuses to their critical profiles:
Light Mace, Light Hammer,+2 Threat Range, +1 Multiplier
Quote:Pulverizer : Passive Bonus: Increases the critical threat range of bludgeoning weapons you equip by 1
Pulverizer is also a competence bonus, sadly competence bonuses don't stack. Therefor the threat range aspect will not stack, the greater value will apply. ie. because Swashbuckler provides a better bonus than the LD's Pulveriser, The swashbucklers threat bonus is applied whilst pulverizer is ignored.
If you were to go with handaxes though, swashbuckler and LD complement each other nicely. Swashbuckler will boost a handaxes threat range by 2, whilst LD will boost the crit multiplier on 19&20 by 2.
If you do prefer bludgeoning weapons it's worth noting that LD also has the ability:
Quote:Devastating Critical : Passive Bonus: +1 Critical Damage Multiplier on rolls of 19-20.
This does stack with the +1 multiplier that swashbuckler grants. The reason being that despite being the same type (competence) they're still bonuses effecting different things. Swashbuckler will apply a +1 mod for all crits, whereas this only grants +1 on your rolls of 19-20.
