Smuggler

You have spent your life hiding in the darkness, making shady deals behind closed doors. What led you to engage in a life of crime? Do you crave the thrill of lawbreaking, or did you enter the profession to pay off a debt, risking your hide on behalf of a less than honorable noble? A smuggler is an individual trained in the art of acquisition, a professional thug who can deliver anything… for a price. Smugglers tend to be bolder criminals than most, preferring bribery or distraction over subterfuge and stealth.
Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from Deception, Piloting, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth Tool Proficiencies: One type of gaming set and your choice of demolitions kit, security kit, or slicer's kit Equipment: A fusion cutter, a set of dark common clothes including a hood, and a belt pouch containing 150 cr
FEATURE: CAREFUL SELECTION Some close brushes with the law have taught you that not every city guard can be bribed, and some people are simply too keen to miss minute discrepancies. This feature allows you to study a person and gain insight into whether or not they would accept a bribe, or to pick up on whether they are exceptionally more perceptive than you. It does not reveal how expensive a bribe may be for a given situation, however.

SUGGESTED CHARACTERISTICS Smugglers might seem like villains on the surface, and many of them are nefarious to the core. But some have an abundance of endearing, if not redeeming, characteristics. There might be honor among thieves, but spies rarely show any respect for law or authority.
