This all played out in his background as having been sent off, as a youth, to a monastary. You see, he was a bit wild as a young man (rogue) and his parents wanted him more under control and hoped he'd learn peace and spirituality. He got kicked out less than a year later. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />So his father then enrolled him in the Charlemont School of Fencing and Swordplay. Basically a military school of sorts. My PC came from a land of very "Renaisance" style and culture. So the school was kinda like a Muskateer training school. His father was hoping it would reign him in through discipline. Karl graduated with honors. Though he refused to sign up for service upon graduating. He wanted to travel and so on... (you know, the usual PC sets off to discover the world, yada, yada, yada.)Anyway, he ended up being Rogue-3/Monk-1/Fencer*-4/Duelist-X. He's still going up in Duelist. Since we allow humans to ignore any one class for XP penalty (instead of the highest), he does not suffer a loss.The level of monk works really well because it gives you that swashbuckly ability to punch and kick (for a d6). Plus you get the Wis bonus to AC as well as that of Int from Duelist.So, yeah, there are some house rules in play here. But it makes for a great PC with lots of style. I enjoy playing him.(* Fencer is a modified version of fighter we created. The DM allowed me to drop all but light armor and buckler, restricted weapons to a short, specific list - like rogues, and reduced HD to d8. I still get fighter feats, receive base 4 skills with a slightly expanded list, and pick up +10 movement like a barbarian.)</blockquote>
