The Art of Diplomacy: The Diplomat Class

One of the classes missing from Enrique Bertran’s Age of Rebellion was the diplomat class. I like ‘face’ classes and felt that the scoundrel fulfilled that role. I also wanted to emphasize Leia’s role as a rebel spy and covert operative, using her position to aid the rebel cause and her cunning to subvert the Empire.

The class as … Continue reading Update and The Scoundrel
