===Campaign Information===

====Playing a Tumbler====

'''Combat:''' Tumblers are a defensive lot, but it doesn't mean they have forgotten how to hurt people.  They continue their previous skills, adding on improved AC and the ability to turn spells on their enemies.

'''Advancement:''' A tumbler often returns to their original class, or enters an appropriate Prestige Class.

'''Resources:''' Tumblers are not an organized group, but some will often be found together in places of performance, such as the circus.  What is more exciting than seeing experts taking on death defying stunts, and somehow squeezing out of harm's way.

====Tumblers in the World====

'''NPC Reactions:''' Tumblers are often members of a circus, and thus a cause for delight in the common folk.  Their death defying stunts can bring in a crowd, few know it is trained against the same fell beasts of adventuring folk.

====Tumblers in the Game====

Tumblers are generally skilled fellows, often rogues with a few monks.  Rarely a dexterous fighter may sneak into the ranks.

'''Sample Encounter:''' The circus is going well, all smiles on the surface, but pressure from local mobs has been on the circus company.  Denied their demands, they have secretly replaced the usual training beasts the local tumbler interacts with far more dangerous fare.  Will the PCs be able to save the performer and drive off the monsters?
