====Playing a Scoundrel====

'''Religion:''' Scoundrels are simultaneously the most and least religious persons ever.  While never quite as openly zealous as a cleric or paladin, any scoundrel can admit they've prayed to their god (or many gods) in dire times when they need a little luck.  Seek opportunity in everything, after all.  Of course any gods of thieves and pranksters enjoy scoundrels as their hand on earth.

'''Other Classes:''' Like rogues, scoundrels are both loved and hated.  None can deny the usefulness of the trap springing, sneak attacking, skillful party face.  But when the gold goes missing and the cleric turns up assassinated in his sleep, everyone looks at the scoundrel first.

'''Combat:''' A scoundrel is much like a rogue or swordsage, a skirmisher.  It uses maneuvers when full attacking is not an option, and the power of sneak attack when the opportunity arises to bring the pain.  With maneuvers tailored towards stealth, they make excellent scouts, spies, and assassins.

'''Advancement:''' Try an initiator prestige class, or even simply a rogue-like one.
