Default Re: Got Talent?

Just wondering if this custom talent of mine is unbalancing:

Born Swordsman: Broadsword, Force Sword, Rapier, Saber, Shortsword, Smallsword, Two-Handed Sword. Reaction Bonus: Other swordsmen and sword-fighting affectionados. 10 points per level.

My reasoning behind this is that it is theoretically possible for someone to be a "natural" at swordfighting above and beyond what their overall DX would indicate. I priced it at 10/level because of the fact that it contains only combat skills, while wavering on the border between the 5/level and 10/level categories, consisting of 7 skills; I decided to err on the side of caution. (This talent was inspired by Errol Flynn, The Princess Bride, and the various Star Wars lightsaber duels, among other sources.)

Unlike the Halfling Ranged Weapon Talent, it is not limited to one racial package from one world setting (i.e. Banestorm Halflings).
