Courier Image

You grew up on the streets learning the ins and outs of all the public locations.  As you grew, you found yourself carrying messages or packages around town for coins.  Now you've made this a profession, and you make a living delivering materials around the city or between towns.  You find the quickest routes, and everyone knows you are trustworthy with their goods.  You don't care what you carry, as long as it doesn't harm you and you make some coin in the process.

 
Skill Proficiencies: Acrobatics, Stealth
Languages: Choose two languages that help you in your courier trade.
Equipment: Courier Bag, map of the city, a set of traveler's clothes, horn, whistle-stick, and a pouch containing 10 gp

You know the patterns and flow to cities and can find passages through the urban sprawl that others would miss. When you are not in combat, you (and companions you lead) can travel between any two locations in the city twice as fast as your speed would normally allow.

You enjoy moving quickly through the city, and finding new and faster routes.  You find yourself comparing routes with urchins.
