Thug

Thugs are less concerned with finesse and subterfuge than other rogues, preferring a more straightforward approach of bullying and intimidation. Those thugs that seek legitimate employment may find work as a bodyguard or bouncer, while those operating outside the law spend their time as muggers or criminal enforcers.
