A rowdy is a kingpin who fights using fencing. Often seen as more sophisticated, the rowdy really just belongs in martial-arts or swashbuckling settings.

Class Information

This is a martial arts archetype, a kingpin of the way of the mind.

Hit Die: d8

Starting Wealth: 2d6 x 10 gp (average 70 gp.) In addition, each character begins play with an outfit worth 10 gp or less.

Class Features

The rowdy has all the kingpin's class features, except as noted.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency

A rowdy is proficient with all simple and martial weapons but not with any armor or shields.

Canny Defense (Ex)

When wearing light encumbrance and wearing no armor and not using a shield, a rowdy adds his Intelligence bonus as a dodge bonus to CMD and Armor Class while wielding a melee weapon. If a rowdy is caught unarmed or is flat-footed or otherwise denied his Dexterity bonus, he also loses this bonus. A rowdy with the Improved Unarmed Combat feat is never considered unarmed. This replaces the bonus feat gained at level 2 and 17.

Uncanny Dodge (Ex)

At 9th level, a rowdy can react to danger before his senses would normally allow him to do so. He cannot be caught flat-footed, nor does he lose his Dexterity bonus to AC if the attacker is invisible. He still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. A rowdy with this ability can still lose his Dexterity bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses the feint action against him. his replaces the bonus feat gained at level 9.
