The duelist has learned to strike the vitals of an enemy with pinpoint accuracy and from any angle. For a moderate duration, all successful attacks generate automatic critical hits.

Unlocking

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.

Notes

  • Beating Isabela by catching her hand as she draws cards requires 'medium' Dexterity according to the toolset (at least 20-22 dexterity).
  • Characters with at least one point in Stealing can steal winning cards from the deck if they shuffle or cut the deck - enough to win the game.
  • With a sufficient Cunning score (20-30 CUN) the player can accuse her of drawing on cards she has held back.
  • With a point in Stealth it is possible to look at her hand.
  • It is easier to catch Isabela cheating during the second round of the game, owing to her "running out of ale."
  • If you "take a break" from the game and return only to fail at beating her a second time, she will no longer be willing to teach the specialization.
  • Seducing Isabela and avoiding Wicked Grace altogether requires 75 Cunning or 3 points in the coercion skill.
