----- Offense ----- Speed 30 ft. Melee +3 Short Sword +22/+17 (1d6+12/19-20 plus 7d6 Sneak) Melee (Full TWF) +3 Short Sword +20/+15/+10 (1d6+12/19-20), +3 Short Sword +20/+15/+10 (1d6+12/19-20) Special Attacks

• Sneak Attack: +7d6.
• Debilitating Injury: On a Sneak Attack hit, choose a penalty for the target (lasts 1 round):
  • Bewildered: -2 AC (-6 AC vs Varek).
  • Disoriented: -2 Attack Rolls (-6 vs Varek).
  • Hampered: Half speed, no 5ft step.
• Double Debilitation: He can apply two penalties from the list above on a single hit.
• Opportunist: 1/round, make an AoO when an ally hits a target Varek threatens.

----- Tactics ----- The Surgeon's Method: Varek targets anatomy.

1. The Flank: He uses his high Acrobatics (+25) to slip through the enemy line and position himself directly behind the target.
2. The Operation (Full Attack): With Greater Two-Weapon Fighting, he creates a "wall of steel" (6 attacks).
   • Crit Profile: Short swords crit on 19-20. While less frequent than Kukris, the higher base damage helps on non-crit hits.
   • Debuff: He applies Bewildered (-6 AC) and Hampered (Half Speed). This locks the enemy in place (no 5ft step) and makes them incredibly easy to hit for his next volley.
3. Pressure Points: If the enemy tries to cast a spell or drink a potion, Varek uses his Opportunist attack to interrupt them.
