Tempest

(PRESTIGE CLASS)
The Tempest is the point of calm within a whirling barrier of deadly blades. Poets use colorful terms such as dancer to describe the movement of a Tempest and her two blades, but mastery of this fighting style is not about dancing. Nor is it about impressing anyone - least of all poets. The Tempest focuses on learning the ultimate secrets of two-weapon fighting for a single purpose - the destruction of her enemies.

- Hit Die: d10.
- Proficiencies: Tempests gain no weapon or armor proficiencies.
