Feature: Nasty and Brutish
You find yourself able to intimidate others into doing what you want much easier. Getting a little rough with a companion who wanted a larger share of the cut, beating down a guard because a bribe is too much effort, or just a little psychological warfare to make things go your way might have been common instances of your interesting tactics of negotiation. You have advantage on Intimidation rolls.
Suggested Characteristics
Bandits and thugs may seem like they don't care at all for others but they have personal lives too, and bonds. Though these tend to side with one view of morality and rarely another. there is more under the surface than a cut-throat highway robber.
