Class Features:

Scouts wander the far byways of the wilds and run the back streets of cities. Their personalities are as varied as the weapons they use, but they know the nooks and crannies wherever they are found, having ferreted out the secret ways and best places with unerring instincts. As water finds the cracks in a cobblestone road, Scouts find what they need to remain prepared.

As a Scout, you will be a guide. Whether you are a nimble pathfinder that leads the way into danger with blade ready or a battle wizened sage providing less physical direction. This attitude extends into the way you view combat- it is a maze through which you can shepherd your allies safely and where your foes can be drawn into blind alleys that promise only death.

With your weapon at the ready you have no fear of the unknown. The next horizon is not a goal to be reached, but a milestone on a journey. Will you come back to show others the way, or is your path ever onward?
