The name "dagger mouths" means that instead of talking they'd rather fight. They are a combo of the anti-sorcerer, rogue, and a bit of ingenuity. They strive to promote themselves whether it's to slit the throat of a fighter for 20 gp or not to slit his throat so the paladin won't kill them.

Adventures: Allmost all dagger mouths will take a quest to retrieve an item, take it and run. They're not the kind to squander their profit, they keep their money.
Characteristics: Dagger mouths only have daggers as weapons. They have lightning speed with them and can block arrows. They're bonded to their daggers till lvl 20. If no daggers are available, they will use other weapons, but despise them.
Alignment: Dagger mouths don't have a fixed alignment. They can be lawful good or chaotic evil.
Religion: Dagger mouths do not appreciate listening to the babblings of clerics and paladins about there allmighty and powerful god.
Background: Most of the dagger mouths don't have any family. Forced to live on the streets, they learn their ways from rogues. They come to find daggers addicting, and from then on they only use daggers.
Races: They tend to be Halflings of Humans because these races have a high poverty level. However, there are occasional Dwarf dagger mouths.
Abilities: Dex provides the ability to conquer with daggers and allows spells, and Cha allows sneaky.
