Description
Human rogue 1
Before Combat: The rogue hides so he can use sneak attack.
During Combat: The rogue continues to engage his initial opponent in melee, or throws acid if all his opponents are at range.
The cutpurse is a dirty sneak who uses surprise and stealth to rob unsuspecting victims.
Avem the Blade: A young tough trying to make a name for himself, Avem prefers robbery and burglary to outright murder—but isn’t afraid to kill.
Combat Encounters: Avem might target a solitary PC in a dangerous part of town, or may be the leader of a gang of unskilled thugs.
Roleplaying Suggestions: Avem is skilled at many kinds of theft, and can be hired to commit petty larceny or create a distraction at reasonable rates.
