Battle Knave (Rogue/Fighter)

Battle knaves are rogues who look to fighters as exemplars of a more reliable and effective fighting style. The battle knave trades study of traps and roguish ways for expertise with deadly combat tricks. More heavily armed, and eventually more heavily armored than the run-of-the-mill rogue, the battle knave taunts and confuses his foes before delivering the deathblow. (Original Concept by Flak)
