BLACKDIRGE
Adventurer
Master at Arms returns with a new prestige class guaranteed to make you look at fencing in a different light. Are you tired of effete swashbucklers and dandy aristocrats monopolizing the rapier? Then rejoice! Blackdirge Publishing and the escrimeur put the steel back into fencing, and the ‘fighter” back into sword fighting.
The escrimeur is a master of the rapier, saber, and estoc; deadly fencing weapons that he wields with skill and precision. The escrimeur learns one of three devastating fencing styles to go along with his choice of weapons, and can dispatch foes with lightning thrusts, deadly lunges, and a host of innovative fighting tricks.
So take back the rapier from the bards and rogues, and thrust, parry, and lunge like a true warrior, with Blackdirge Publishing and the escrimeur.
