Description
Human fighter 11
Before Combat: The fighter drinks her potions of bull’s strength, cat’s grace, and barkskin. If she’s planning betrayal, a scheming fencer doesn’t down her potions until just before her treachery.
During Combat: The fighter uses Combat Expertise, hoping to wear her foes down. Every few rounds, she makes a disarm attempt with one of her attacks. She likes to gain a height advantage using her slippers of spider climbing.
Base Statistics: Without bull’s strength, cat’s grace, and barkskin, the fighter’s statistics are Init +4; AC 21, touch 14, flat-footed 17; Ref +8; Melee +1 rapier +17/+12/+7 (1d6+6/15–20), mwk dagger +16/+11 (1d4+3/19–20); Ranged dagger +17 (1d4+3/19–20) or mwk composite longbow +17/+12/+7 (1d8+2/×3); Str 12, Dex 19; CMB +12 (+14 disarm); CMD 26 (28 vs. disarm); Skills Acrobatics +15, Climb +13.
Cosmopolitan patrons hire scheming fencers as either bodyguards or enforcers. Groups of these warriors can also serve as soldiers, guards, and protectors.
Eralin Lisinar: Sadistic and manipulative, Eralin prefers a long, drawn out battle over a clean and efficient kill. She deals death in nicks and cuts and twists of her blades. Never one for a fair fight, she deliberately seeks out opponents who can’t match her skill.
