[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 682367, member: 5100"] The Dragon with the Campaign Components: Swashbucklers gave an interesting suggestion: Barbarian swashbuckler. As someone else pointed out, the barbarian class is really more of a berserker than low-tech fighter. Just say the character grew up in the city or as the son of a country noble (excuse for animal skills). He tries to be normal and civilized, he really does. Sometimes, though, he witnesses things that just enrage him to no end. In these situations, his natural response is to kick the holy living snot out of whatever irritates him. He just gets so irrationally passionate about it. Of course, that inflamed passion is likely to carry over to other areas of his life. No doubt he carrouses with the best of them but no matter how popular he is with the ladies, he's gotten himself in deep doo with authorities because he isn't likely to keep quiet when he disagrees with their ideas. I believe the article used Porthos (of the Three Musketeers) as an example of this kind of character. [/QUOTE]
