[/FONT] [FONT="]In a world rife with opportunities for adventure, there is money to be made, and fame to be gained. All it takes is the wits of a musketeer. Among the ranks of musketeers are swashbuckling mercenaries, crusading adventurers, dodgy thugs, and countless others. The life of a musketeer is one of freedom and simple pleasures. Musketeers travel the world, meeting in taverns and inns to relate their latest adventures, listen to the gossip, and plot against cruel rulers.[/FONT]
[FONT="] Adventurers: Most musketeers are affected by feelings of wanderlust, and dislike staying in one place for long, while more serious musketeers adventure to uphold a family tradition of adventurers or to protect their way of life.[/FONT]
[FONT="] Characteristics: Musketeers are merry travellers who have mastered the famed musket. They can perform amazing acrobatic feats, and excel in skirmishes. Charismatic and merry, musketeers fulfil the role of the swashbuckling pirate, the deft-fingerer rifleman, or the soldier with a revolutionary streak. While they are certainly more comfortable in ranged combat, musketeers are tough enough to hold their ground in melee, usually wielding daggers, hand crossbows, and rapiers.[/FONT]
[FONT="] Alignment: Musketeers can be of any alignment. Most musketeers are of a chaotic alignment, since they are too free-willed to serve any laws. Those musketeers who adventure out of a sense of duty to a tradition are, however, sometimes lawful.[/FONT]
[FONT="] Religion: Musketeers generally show little interest in any greater force, valuing fun and the pleasures of life above devotion to a god. Those who do worship a deity often worship Avandra, the goddess of freedom and change, and darker musketeers often revere Vecna or Lolth.[/FONT]
[FONT="] Background: Musketeers are often wealthy folk who found every day life to dull and glum. Others were recruited as pirates, while some were soldiers who disliked the dull daily routine of drilling and guard duty. Others are nobles of families with a history of lawlessness and adventurers.[/FONT]
[FONT="] Races: Humans ambition and lust for adventure makes them brilliant musketeers, and the wanderlust of elves and half-elves also draws them towards this path. Halflings’ sense of freedom is ideal for this class. Dwarves are often more lawful musketeers.[/FONT]
[FONT="] Other Classes: Musketeers get on well with almost anyone, but they do just as well on their own. They share a lot in common with many rogues, and can fight alongside a fighter or ranger. The only class musketeers struggle to cooperate with is the paladin, since paladins’ lawfulness and strict rules are an invitation for trouble when forced to work with a lawless and chaotic musketeer.[/FONT]
[FONT="] Role: Musketeers focus on ranged combat. They function best placed a little behind the party’s fighter. Musketeers prefer to move around a lot, since they are slightly vulnerable to attacks.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]GAME RULE INFORMATION[/FONT]
[FONT="]Musketeers have the following game statistics.[/FONT]
