Path of the Thug

While most barbarians are overt and come screaming at their enemies, thugs tend to be more underhanded with things, preferring to sneak around and ambush their targets.

This subclass is a Quixotic-Dragon production.

In order to help us improve it, please take a moment to rate it and comment your answers to the following questions:

• Are there any changes you would make in order to make the subclass more fun or easier to play?
• Are there any other notes or improvements you would make to this class that were not mentioned in these questions?
