Corsair

Masters of blade and wit, Corsair's live by the speed of their reflexes and the luck of the bold...

Whether good or evil or somewhere in between, the Corsair is a character with flair and finesse. Less heavily armoured than the average fighter the Corsair specialises in finesse based attacks and versatile advantage based abilities. Generally, a Corsair character will choose Dexterity and Constitution as their highest stats.
