Example Kit - Swashbuckler

## Swashbuckler Kit

The Swashbuckler Kit is suitable for Characters who are Trained in Light Armor, Shields and Complex Weapons. It also assumes you have a good Dexterity Bonus (at least +2) and are likely to train this further in your future adventures. They have the tools necessary for fighting well in close quarters but are less able to attack from afar.
