Guile

Rules and guidelines were meant to be broken, especially in a fight. Scoundrels are trained to make use of every dirty trick in their books to make sure that they're the only one left standing at the end of the battle.

The Guile skill breaks down into four groups: Reloading; Brawling; Underbelly tricks; and Surveillance.
