Description
Brigands are tough, unsavory individuals. Rough and tumble is a way of life for them, and their mixture of stealth and direct combat ability make them particularly formidable. They tend to serve as tougher bandits, enforcers for criminal operations, bodyguards to less savory nobility or merchants, or as sellswords. They value money and their life above all other things, and will always try to make it out of a fight with both if possible.
Brigand Snipers are advanced sharpshooters who have trained long and hard to be very capable ranged combatants, and also armored melee fighters. Relying on stealth to deliver devastating shots at long range against particularly dangerous enemies, they often wait in the back for a fight to start, then put down the most dangerous foes at their earlies opportunity.
