The Courtesan

Of all the criminal guilds, one of the less well known, yet most effective, is that of the Crimson Courtesans. They are shapechangers, spies and assassins.  Able to both enchant a room with their dances and soft words, or viciously murder an entranced target within seconds. Despite being composed of beautiful, largely unarmed women specialized in social engineering, infiltrators who can stay invisible in any society for their own gain, they are far from being harmless, mastering a dancing martial art of great lethality.

And as shapeshifters, they can be anyone.

A Mistress.

A Ravager.

A Queen.

A Guard.

They can be you, me, or any of us.

The only rumored way to identify a member of the Crimson Courtesans it is said, is by a single crimson strand they hide in their haircuts…

Goal

You are a great skill-monkey, capable both at exploration and scouting with great hiding skills. Additionally, you’re also a surprisingly effective warrior, your fists dealing considerable damage.  With your Enchanting Dance, you can rapidly send foes panicking or dazing them.  In doing so, they’ll be forced to stand there – awaiting their slaughter.

But where you truly shine is a party face, in social events, where you can be anyone, bluff your way into and out of spicy situations, and approach damn near any social encounter with a winning hand. This is a high roleplay build packaged into a great fighting build, itself packaged into a skill monkey build.
