The reckoner gangs of Kamigawa are ancient and feared. Perhaps you joined them seeking glory, or perhaps it was a necessity to survive in the Undercity. Your tattoos now mark you, with honor if you climb their ranks, or as a traitor if you try to leave.
- Skill Proficiencies: Intimidation, plus one of your choice from among Athletics or Stealth
- Tool Proficiencies: Choose two from among one gaming set, tattooist's tools, poisoner's kit, and vehicles (land)
- Equipment: Your choice of [Tooltip Not Found] or a poisoner's kit, one gaming set, an oni mask, a dark set of [Tooltip Not Found] including a hood or straw hat, and a belt pouch containing 15 gp
Feature: Reckoning
No matter where you go, your tattoos mark you as a member of a reckoner gang. You can get away with minor criminal offenses, such as refusing to pay for food at a restaurant or breaking down a door at a local shop, if no legal authorities witness the crime. Most people are too daunted by you to report your wrongdoing to the Imperials.
Suggested Characteristics
Criminals might seem like villains on the surface, and many of them are villainous to the core. But some have an abundance of endearing, if not redeeming, characteristics. There might be honor among thieves, but criminals rarely show any respect for law or authority.
