- Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, Investigation
- Tool Proficiencies: One type of artisan’s tools
- Languages: Choose one of Draconic, Goblin, or Vedalken

Feature: Urban Infrastructure
You have a basic knowledge of the structure of airships, including the stuff behind the walls. You can also find blueprints of a specific building in order to learn the details of its construction. Such blueprints might provide knowledge of entry points, structural weaknesses, or secret spaces. Your access to such information isn’t unlimited. If obtaining or using the information gets you in trouble with the law, the guild can’t shield you from the repercussions.
