Description: A Borderlord is a bit of a rare bird. He is the lone elf patrolling the borders of the ancient elven kingdoms, ready to report on any threat to the nation. Only elves can become Borderlords, for the simple reason that this is a Fighter/Mage/Thief kit specially designed for the elven race.
To be a Borderlord an elf must first be a F/M/T and have the minimum statistics: Str 13, D 16, C 11, I 14 and W 11. As can be seen, the requirements are almost as great as those of the Ranger class, as Borderlords have much in common with these loners.
Preferred Schools: There are no preferred schools, but most specialist Borderlords take the Enchantment/Charm or Alteration schools.
Barred Schools: There are no barred schools except for Necromancy. There are, however, very few Invoker or Diviner Borderlords.
Role: Borderlords live their lives much like the rangers. They stay out in nature and patrol the outskirts of the elven lands they have sworn to protect. They serf not only as scouts, they are master snipers, and all enchant arrows with various spells devised by retired Borderlords.
Secondary Skills: Bowyer/Fletcher, Forester, Hunter or any wilderness oriented.
Weapon Proficiencies:

• Bonus: Like the War Wizards, all Borderlords get a free proficiency in the Longbow and Longsword.

• Borderlords are well wersed in using the Find/Remove Traps to find and remove snares, log traps, and other "natural traps". When they attempt to find or remove these traps they are at +25%. Furthermore, they can use this skill to make "natural" traps of their own by making two successful checks (one to make the trap and one to hide it).
