Welcome
Desperado in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Desperado
The Desperado lives in harsh conditions. Where a lesser man it may have killed, living on the edge of the Loathing Frontier has hardened their resolve and sharpened their wits. They are a survivor to the core.
The wilds of the Western territory have never been safe, but these last few years it's gotten bad, and Desperados all across the Frontier have been struggling. Maybe it's time to stop doing everything alone.
Take your position amongst your comrades as a guide through the desert scrub, giving them rifle support from on high or pistol support from down low.
