Confidential Informant


You have developed a keen sense for finding people who have a juicy story and are willing to share it for a bit of coin.

When you are looking for a particular piece of information, you know where to go to find someone with the information, unless your DM rules that the knowledge you seek is secreted away in an almost inaccessible place, or that it simply cannot be found.
