Blade Weaver (3.5e Class)

Blade Weaver

Blade Weavers are a mysterious sort that are few and far between. It takes years of training and honing of their particular skill set before finally being accepted into their ranks with the title of Blade Weaver. Most Blade Weavers travel in pairs, 1 being an experienced member, and the other being a recruit gaining field experience.

Making a Blade Weaver

Whilst the Blade Weaver is quite deadly in combat, he is quite squishy. This can put them between a rock and a hard place at times as they're usually towards the front of the battle supporting the Fighters and Paladins .

Abilities: Strength and Dexterity are the Blade Weavers most primary stats.

Races: Halflings, Kitsune, and Elves are all classes that are quite compatible but there arent any races that are terrible matches.

Alignment: A Blade Weaver can be any alignment besides Lawful Good.

Starting Gold: Starting Gold is 4d4 x10 gold.

Starting Age: Moderate as "Blade Weaver."
