Tiefling Scoundrel

From DDO wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Tiefling Scoundrels are melee focused Bards with an emphasis on Sonic and Fire damage. They gain special powers while in their racial darkness SLA.

Overview[edit]

  • Scoundrel is an iconic variant Tiefling, introduced in Update 41 Patch 4 as a part of Masterminds of Sharn.
  • As all Iconic Heroes, Scoundrels start at level 15 (1,050,000XP).
  • Scoundrels' first level is Bard. Then, they can either take a predefined path, or customize their Bard levels, or reject training and leave the starting area with enough experience to train to level 15.
  • Scoundrels are an Eberron race and start their lives at the City Watch Station in Sharn. They wake up with no memory and the city watch telling them they took a good hit to the head after one of the fiercest tavern brawls they've ever seen. The exit goes to the Clifftop Tower District just east of the banker. They cannot go back to the starting area once they exit.

  • Scoundrel is NOT free to VIP.
  • It is available in the DDO Store for 1,395 DP.
