Darkrunners are often confused for Rogues or Barbarians, truth is, both are wrong and far-off. Darkrunners focus on swift manuevers whilst handling large, two-handed and normally back-breaking weapons and more often than not, leather armor.
Darkrunner Backstory: More often than not, they're ballerina brutes, with lack of a better term. They're usually very agile, and deliver hard-hitting blows, before vanishing from your sight all-together.
Darkrunners were often Rogues first, but found the one-handed daggers to be too puny, or simply not do the job at all versus some of the larger foes, and over time, these Rogues founded and organization - Twilight of the Rogues, wherein they trained new recruits, often Rogues or Fighters, to fight with startling grace and wielding some of the largest swords on the market.
Adventure Hook: Darkrunners are often assassins-for-hire, traveling the world either for their next hit, or to find a job. It is not unusual for them to simply wander.
Darkrunners are proficient with Light and Medium Armor.
Darkrunners are Proficient with Simple, Martial and Exotic weapons.
