Draeven Marauder

"What care have I for your king or laws? Cormyr is my foe. I am a freebooter of the Coast. I am a Draeven marauder."

Prerequisite: Fighter class

You are a skulking freedom fighter resisting Cormyrean occupation of the Dragon Coast. With a short pike in hand you are a master skirmisher, and you strike quickly and savagely before retreating. In towns up and down the Coast, you are either heralded as an instrument of liberty or derided as a rebellious insurgent little better than a brigand or pirate.
