I think its false, because they got a shield and style and a single weapon style. Single weapon style, has to do with Like yoshi, when you get him he has a bow and a katana equipped, so when you switch to katana, you use it alone. Its there so you can use melee weapons and a ranged weapon (excluding slings darts etc.)

Another one about weapon styles ;)
Do Bows/Crossbows benefit from two-handed weapon fighting style ?

But 2handed weapon style only works with melee weapons AFAIK

Does nobody have a new question ?
Well, guess it's my turn again ... ;)

Do Swashbucklers get (slightly) different High Level Abilities in ToB than other thief kits/pure thief ?

True.

in an unmodded game, the swashbuckler gets whirlwind attack instead of assasination.

True or False, the ring of the ram has full effect on damage resistant monsters such as kangaxx.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that ... the Ring of the Ram does piercing damage and Kangaxx is 90% resistant to that, but if I remember correctly the ring bypasses those resistances. So my vote goes for True :)

Ring of the Ram damages can't be blocked by any means. It works on Kangaax, Dragons, Irenicus and other "boss" (in SoA). On large monsters, the "knock back" effect doesn't work.

Thats an easy one:

True or false, Regeneration stacks with movement modification spells.

Strange question.
It's partially false and partially true. I believe you do regenerate faster with Improved Haste, but not with the normal Haste spell.
Could be seriously wrong here though...
