Pregenerated Swashbucklers 1st level

These 3 first level characters are Swashbucklers, a character type unique to my campaign. Click here to download the PDF file for Randal, Matilda and Matilda the Second*. You can also get the Swashbuckler Character Class from DriveThruRPG.

Matilda is wicked with a knife.
These characters are almost ready to go. In generating ability scores, I made sure the range was acceptable in both D&D and AD&D. To convert this character to straight AD&D, simply add or subtract the racial modifiers and class abilities.

Meet Randal
The equipment and coins are not balanced for a first level character. It is safe to assume that each has prior adventurers in their background, perhaps even entering the Lion Castle from BSOLO and escaping before victory.

If there is a call for it in the comments, I will make DOCX and Google Doc file available as I have the PDFs. The reason I have not done this from the get go is that I created every character of a class in one document and print each page as a PDF.

*Matilda and Matilda the Second is a gag. The name was popular after the Norman Invasion and many a scribe was frustrated by the lack of sir names or last names and began labeling them rather arbitrarily.

*Ferdae is a shout out to Michael Faraday, the scientist not known for the properties of glass.

*Zane is a callback to Final Fantasy, while Jaime is a shout out to my sister-in-law who can find zero products with her name spelled correctly on them. Gurwinder is a woman with a very special background in my campaign. She is decidedly female.
