DF: Still can't challenge the Swashbuckler

Thanks for the advice everyone. Here are a few follow ups:

More DR on enemies: The Knight also has ST 13 (both Cat-folk), so if the SB can't get through, then the others are in the same boat.

More Enemies: Done that, but what ends up happening, is that the others get a bit banged up, but the SB is still breezing without a challenge.

Point Totals: Everyone started at 250, the SB is now over 320, as is the wizard and cleric. The Knight is a new comer and at 270.

Number of Attacks:
If I wasn't clear, he is duel wielding sabers. One is tied to the Weapon Bond, the other is not. He has an extra attack, and regularly uses rapid strike with the rules form MA allowing more than 2 attacks. Yes I got some of my numbers a bit off but he is still attacking 5 times (1 attack = 4 rapid strikes, +Extra attack).

Again, thanks for the advice. This has given me a lot to look at. I've also not been ruling on limiting defenses on move and attacks (I've just never used the rules, as there was very little of this in prior games).
