KERN
Kerns are mercenary or itinerant fighters, typically from the lower classes and without a wealthy sponsor or employer, who make their way with a mixture of martial skill and cunning. Most kerns start their careers as conscripts, or part of a peasant levy. Unemployed kerns form irregular mercenary units, or become bandits. They are opportunistic fighters who seize any advantage in melee.
Constitution, Dexterity, and Wisdom are important abilities for a kern. A kern’s feat selection typically concentrates on seizing the advantage (Improved Initiative), improving his attacks (Attack Focus, Sneak Attack), and avoiding or withstanding damage (Evasion, Tough).
