Swashbuckler

Those who seek to engage in combat with grace and panache while crippling opponents with strategic attacks will find the Swashbuckler profession to their liking. The Swashbuckler is a rogue who prefers to perform flamboyant acts of skill and daring, striking suddenly and using shadows to confuse opponents. The Swashbuckler best serves a party as a secondary line of physical offense, inflicting damage on opponents—particularly in devastating first strikes.
