Investigator

Rarer than watch or patrol members are a community’s investigators, who are responsible for solving crimes after the fact. Though such folk are seldom found in rural areas, nearly every settlement of decent size has at least one or two watch members who have the skill to investigate crime scenes and track down criminals.   Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from Insight, Investigation, Perception, and Survival Languages: Two of your choice Equipment: A uniform in the style of your unit and indicative of your rank, a horn with which to summon help, a set of binders, and a pouch containing 100 cr   FEATURE: WATCHER'S EYE Your experience in enforcing the law, and dealing with lawbreakers, gives you a feel for local laws and criminals. You can easily find the local outpost of the watch or a similar organization, and just as easily pick out the dens of criminal activity in a community, although you’re more likely to be welcome in the former locations rather than the latter.   BACKGROUND FEAT As a further embodiment of the experience and training of your background, you can choose from the following feats  
  • Empathic
  • Investigator
  • Perceptive
  • Survivalist
  • Linguist
  • Alert
  • Observant
