Swashbuckler

Swashbucklers of Algoron

These care-free dashing warriors glide through life with grace, wit and charm. Disdainful of most common weapons, they are extremely proficient at those of their choosing.

Ever ready for adventure, swashbucklers have a multitude of skills at their disposal to help them on their way. Once they have advanced far enough in their training it is rumored that they are able to don a mask to hide their true identities.
