Overview
If your character takes the Fencer job, they will gain the powers of a fast, agile warrior, capable of slashing at incredible speed. Fencers gain bonuses to Accuracy and Evasion, making them difficult to pin down, but more able to pin you down. Their abilities fluctuate between magick and techniques, using an assortment of time-based magick to support their quick attacks. Their defenses are not very high, but, nonetheless, they are mostly a front row fighter — Fencers need to get in quick, then get away again.
Fencer Statistics
Base Statistics
Fencers benefit directly from a high Dexterity, improving their already-impressive evasion and accuracy. They can earn an edge with many of their more magickal abilities with a high Intelligence, as well. Charisma will alleviate their low MP total, but some Fencers choose to go with Strength or Constitution in order to enhance their front-line abilities.
