The Rogue


Able to pick the sturdiest of locks and spot insidious traps, the rogue is an invaluable asset to any party. And if you want to be able to explore every nook and cranny of the game, you're going to need one with you at all times, for you never know when their unique skills will come in handy. They may not be the best choice for your frontline defense, but they're deadly adversaries when allowed to sneak up on an opponent.

Class Benefits: +4 Dexterity, +2 Willpower, +4 Cunning

Specializations: Assassin, Bard



The Assassin


Masters of stealth and poisons, the assassin is the living embodiment of death incarnate. No one ever said life is fair, and neither are these silent and efficient killers. Poisons are their weapon of choice and in the trained hands of these hitmen, they are used to devastating effect. Born out of a need to remove a despicable noble from lands to the north of Treviso, an order of monks from the Chantry used the herbs grown in the gardens of their abbey to concoct a potion to be rid of him. Over the course of time, the knowledge they gleaned from those plants and more has brought many a man to an early demise, including those of the nobility.

Specializations Bonus: +2 Dexterity, +2.5% Critical Chance

Assassin



The Bard


It's said that music soothes the soul of the most savage beast. That may be true, but only if it comes from the talented hands of a bard. Their musical talents go far beyond merely entertaining the nobility for which they most often play. They are able to bring out the best in their comrades, pushing them on to greater heights and skill than they knew possible, while at the same time destroying the morale of the enemies surrounding them. Plying their trade from town to town, bards are also often spies for nobles of their own, trading secrets between kingdoms. It's a dangerous game, but the nobles of the lands cant resist it, and by the time they discover their nightly entertainment has been provided by a true bard rather than a traveling minstrel, it's often far too late.

Specializations Bonus: +2 Willpower, +1 Cunning
