Secrets are the only thing of value to you, and you use any means necessary to obtain them.
- Skill Proficiencies: Deception, Intimidation
- Tool Proficiencies: One type of gaming set, vehicles (land)
- Equipment: A card containing your deepest secrets, written in thieves cant, a set of bone dice or deck of cards, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp
Feature: Trademark
You have a trinket from your past life of secrets. Your Trademark is a small construct with 1 hit point that takes the appearance of a small ball jointed on a stand that is roughly 2 inches tall. The trademark has a sensor mounted on the ball that can see any creature within 60 feet of it. You can press a button on your Trademark and point the sensor at a creatures face for 5 seconds to scan them as a safe creature. If a creature that has not been scanned is in the range of the Trademark's sensor, the Trademark makes a loud beeping noise and shines a 60 foot cone of bright light at the creature. If your trademark is broken, the noise and light both stop. Creating a new trademark costs 20 gold pieces and tinkers tools.
Suggested Characteristics
The strain of secrets can make an impact on one's mind. You choose how that impacts your character. It could be a positive impact, where secrets are all that you have left, or a negative impact, where secrets are what ruined your life.
