The masters of the wild, a Scout takes his early training as a Rogue and couples it with the unique ability to use the Briton Longbow - making him the most fierce archer in all the realms. Using this mighty weapon, and natural roguish stealth, a small team of scouts can fell an enemy before they realize they're under attack.
Alone, a Scout relies on their bow to even the odds. Being lightly equipped to aid their more stealthy necessities, a Scout usually can't stand toe-to-toe as well as the warrior types, but with the aid of an arrow or two and a moment to prepare they can eliminate most of the need to deal directly with combat, using a light blade to finish off their staggering opponent.
The masters of the distance attack, Scouts are invaluable for hitting an enemy within a group without needing to rush in. Unlike mages, who get attacks that nearly have the range of the longbow, a Scout is quite capable of melee for short periods of time and won't be felled at the first stroke.
