You are well acquainted with any and all underhanded dealings in your area, and criminals and noblemen alike come to you for information. You have spent much time in the extremes of society, among the thieves' gangs as well as the lavish parties of the upper classes. You occupy a unique place in society, where many find you distasteful, but you are too valuable - and dangerous - to eliminate.
- Skill Proficiencies: Investigation, Persuasion
- Tool Proficiencies: Disguise Kit, Forgery Kit
- Equipment: Choose from the Diplomat's Kit or the Dungeoneer's Kit
Feature: Connections
You know at least one noble in each major city, and if you have spent a month or more in one city, you know enough about that particular noble to coerce them into doing one favor for you (up to 25 gp value). You also know how to find the significant people in the criminal circles of each city. In your home city, you may have a network of informants working for you, provided that you are still in good standing with them.
Suggested Characteristics
Successful informants look innocuous on the surface, but cunning lies beneath that normal facade. They know the value of a secret or rumor. Kinder ones might pass on a helpful hint for no charge, but these ones are few and far between. Some will keep their word to preserve their reputation, but others betray trust to satisfy their own desires. Some fall prey to greed, blackmailing other people with their knowledge.
