Unwieldy Envoy

[TheMaskedFerret]

it is really painful using a move action to actually move rather than use an improvisation, so being able to switch weapons as a swift action is very useful.

Action economy is a key concern, IMO.  I'm just having a hard time imagining the circumstances where your std to do damage or your move to prep to do future damage is superior to doing damage through others.

Conceivably, you could be the fake tank for a soldier-less party?  In a pew-pew normative game, a fake tank is all you really need?

As Redwall proved, if you piss the enemy off enough and keep moving to block them from attacking others, a melee envoy can be an effective tank.
