The cities and towns are overrun with vermin and you earned your keep scouring the streets for rats and earning pennies. Your call to adventure came from that lifestyle - delving into sewers and allies in search of your catch or working for the wealthier denizens to liberate their homes of unwanted pests.
- Skill Proficiencies: Investigation, Stealth
- Tool Proficiencies: Net, rope, small animal traps.
- Equipment: A small knife, a detailed map of the city you grew up in including pipes and sewers, a set of common and well patched clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp
Feature: City Sewer Navigator
You know the sewers and infrastructure and can find underground passages through any urban sprawl that others would miss. When you are not in combat, you (and companions you lead) can travel between any two locations in a city unseen. It may not be a pleasant journey and thoroughly smellly!
Suggested Characteristics
Rat catchers are tough city dwellers used to making a living the hard way. They may be dismissive of the rich and those in power - a purse does not keep the rats from a door.
