Cutthroat Point Buy is part of the Proficiency System. Cutthroat Point Buy is specifically designed for dextrous characters that prefer melee over ranged combat. As a result, Cutthroat Point Buy only allows for lightweight weapons such as daggers or rapiers, and bars the user from utilizing Melee Point Buy packs when in use. Cutthroat Point Buy Abilities require the Stance Ability provided for free as soon as a single Point Buy Pack is purchased from this selection.

This Ability cannot be point bought, but is included for free as long as at least one Cutthroat Point Buy Pack has been purchased. This Ability enables further Cutthroat Abilities. As a general ground rule. Stances cannot be Countered, Prevented, Canceled, or interrupted in any way.
