Thief, unless I am much mistaken.

Yeah, is a thief. But would seem a useful thing to make explicit

Sorry, I noted it under templates.

None of those three here, but more examples of "core" templates:

[DF 1-3] Critique Five Pre-Gen Mass-Murdering Burglar Hobos

Note: I started that thread years before having ever played Dungeon Fantasy; I've been playing using the DF rules set for a couple years now. I really should update it, along with my Shadowyrm dungeon (that, in it's highly-unfinished state, really isn't very good at all).

I only selected two quirks from Power-Ups 6: Quirks, p. 32, and I used those two points on Signature Gear for his edged rapier.

I chose +1 to ST and +2 to Striking ST to raise him to ST 14, giving him 2d swing damage and thus upping the bonus from Weapon Master to a total of +4, making his cutting damage 2d+4 or 3d, which is decent, especially combined with such high skill and Extra Attack. His Weapon Bond gives him skill 21 and I chose Enhanced Parry as well, giving him a parry of 15F, which is good, but not great—he suffers here with no shield, but spending points, money and encumbrance on a buckler isn't worth reducing this character's sword skill. He'll have to rely on Dodge for ranged attacks and attacks from heavy weapons (9+ lbs. for his edged rapier) such as polearms or spears, which are common enough in DF that I also chose Enhanced Dodge.

I'd highly suggest keeping him at no or light encumbrance! "Parry, dodge, or die" Swashbucklers have been fielded at my table and have proven effective in my actual game play experience.

We use Low-Tech for equipment, but I don't have time right now to outfit him. Dungeon Fantasy 13: Loadouts is of interest for quickly doing so. Again, in my actual gameplay experience, it's not proven worthy of trading a penalty to parry or dodge for low amounts of DR for this character concept.

Description: Lautan Hosu was left at a monastery many years ago by her mother, most likely because she looked very different. They taught her the ways of martial arts. She later decided to travel to the mysterious west. Since, she has learned two things: people here care more about the slant of her eyes than the color of her hair, and that money seems to make the world go around.
