You once wore the colors of the City Watch — or some version of it. Maybe you believed in the law once, or maybe it was just steady work. But somewhere along the way, you saw too much: the cases buried for convenience, the bribes passed without consequence, or the innocent marched off to the dungeons while the guilty walked free. You left, or were pushed out. Now you put your training to work for something closer to justice.
- Ability Scores: Strength, Wisdom, Constitution (choose +2/+1 or +1/+1/+1)
- Feat: Tough
- Tool Proficiencies: Calligrapher’s Supplies, One Artisan’s Tool of your choice
- Equipment: • A brass whistle with a chipped edge
• A worn tabard or sash from your former precinct
• A journal of patrol notes with names and addresses half-censored
• A set of traveler’s clothes
• A half-used sealing wax kit
• 5 gp in official pay still owed to you, and 5 more that might have been skimmed
You remember standard Watch protocols — patrol schedules, interrogation tactics, chain-of-evidence procedures, and common station layouts. You can often predict how local law enforcement will react to crimes, crises, or investigations. In addition, you can identify guard ranks, signals, and corrupt signs within moments of observation.

Fellow ex-guards, current officers with grudges or respect, and underworld figures who know you used to wear the badge — and might still carry the stink of it.
