Renegade

A renegade is a person who is attuned to a life of running and hiding. Where characters of most classes have established themselves in their chosen profession by virtue of their own dreams or aspirations, renegades instead are made by the land and the era they live in. Nobody dreams of a life of running away, after all. Preordained for death by a powerful body of law, in hiding from influential (and most often global) criminal factions, or chased far and wide by tenacious slave hunters, the renegade as an entity possesses a steeled mind to overcome any adversity and hardship, a quick wit to foil any subterfuge, and a resilient and fast body accustomed to fighting in fierce and merciless retaliation.

Making a Renegade

Renegades are formidable users of hit and run tactics, and have virtually uncontested mastery of their surroundings and maneuverability on the battlefield. Their versatile skillset allows them to bring many pertinent problems to a quick resolution. The constant danger to their lives has made them quick learners, and many improvised weapons and tactics become a very lethal threat in the hands of a renegade. Their ability to use a great variety of tools both magical and mundane makes them excellent supplementary characters, but they lack the focus of a full spellcaster and the battle strength of a full fighter.

Abilities: Although a high Dexterity and Intelligence score are absolutely paramount for any renegade, a high Wisdom allows them to live longer and a high Charisma means that they are better at taking advantage of people they encounter, allowing them to live more comfortably. A low Constitution however is often a ticket to certain death.

Races: In any culture with separation of castes or hierarchies, there are bound to be people that have pissed off the wrong person and have been thrown in jail or worse because of it. People that survive, or that have the common sense to run before law enforcement descends upon them en masse with a flaming hammer of justice are often apt candidates for becoming renegades.

Alignment: Any. It doesn't take a chaotic or evil guy to become universally reviled and hunted.

Starting Gold: 5d4×10 gp.

Starting Age: As rogue.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the <-class name->.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Renegades are proficient with all simple weapons, plus the hand crossbow, rapier, sap, shortbow, and short sword.

In addition to this, the renegade may treat weapon proficiency as a class skill. By putting 2 skill points in this particular skill, he may become proficient in a martial weapon of his choice. Similarly, proficiency in a single exotic weapon may be bought for 3 points in this skill.

Note: If your campaign uses the weapon group rules from Unearthed Arcana, this skill may alternatively be used to 'buy' one weapon group feat for 6 points.
