You’re the loose cannon, the wild card, the one who runs headfirst into danger without thinking twice. Rules? You’ve heard of them, but they’re more like guidelines, right? You’re the type who’ll dive off a building or take on a gang solo, all in the name of justice—or at least, your version of it. You’ve got some demons in your past, but instead of dealing with them, you bury yourself in the job, taking risks others wouldn’t dream of. Some call you reckless, others call you insane, but at the end of the day, you get results. And sure, maybe you’ve caused a bit of collateral damage along the way, but someone has to do the dirty work.
You might be a hero or a walking disaster, depending on who you ask.
- Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, Intimidation
- Tool Proficiencies: Vehicles (Land), Gaming Set (choose one: dice, cards, or darts)
- Equipment: A badge or emblem of office, a set of handcuffs or manacles, a lighter, a gaming set (matching your proficiency), a beat up leather jacket or duster
In a tight spot, you move fast—sometimes too fast. Once per long rest, you can take two actions in a single turn, but on your next turn, you must skip your action, as the reckless rush catches up with you.
