Your Queen rules her kingdom fairly and justly, but even a benevolent sovereign has need of sharp blade that moves silently through the darkness. You are that blade. You spent your career as a member of an elite squad of warriors who used stealth and brute force in equal measure to carry out missions for the Queen.You didn't live entirely in the shadow's; part of your strength came from your reputation. Sometimes even the mere mention of the Queen's Blade could resolve a dispute. When it couldn't, well... that's where your actual blade could come in handy.
- Skill Proficiencies: Stealth, Intimidation
- Tool Proficiencies: Disguise Kit
- Languages: One of your choice
- Equipment: A set of fine clothes, a set of common clothes, a signet ring, a disguise kit, and a purse containing 25 gp
Feature: Fearsome Reputation
Your reputation precedes you. Those who respect your government, or the law in general, will tend to show you a certain amount of deference. Within your own kingdom, your name and your signet ring are usually enough to secure shelter and food for you and a small group of companions, often without charge. Criminals and enemies of the crown, however, will typically go out of their way to avoid you, just in case you're here for them.
Suggested Characteristics
The Queen's elite warriors come from many different backgrounds, though they all eventually learn the ways of the court. They all have a responsibility to the crown and to each other, but may come to serve for various reasons. Most value law and order to some degree, but a covert enforcer works in the shadows in order to skirt the law when needed. How they justify their place in society is up to you.
