Duelist can be unlocked by talking to [[Isabela]] in [[The Pearl]], a brothel in [[Denerim]]. She must be persuaded, seduced or beat in a card game to get her to teach the specialization. If you are trying to beat her in a card game, keep trying even if you lose. Eventually Leliana or Zevran will offer to help you and then you will beat her. Beating her yourself requires 60 dexterity. Seducing her requires 75 cunning or 3 points in the coercion skill. |

- For the specialization in Dragon Age II, see Duelist (Dragon Age II).
“I assume you saw that little drama? None of these poor brutes has ever proven a match for me. They are too clumsy and predictable. I fight with quickness and wit, rather than with brute force and strength.” ―Isabela
Duelist is one of the specializations available for the rogue class in Dragon Age: Origins, providing minor attribute bonuses and four potential talents.
