Private Investigator

It is not necessarily the law that drives you, but the pursuit of the truth. Perhaps the truth can best be found by upholding and enforcing the law, or perhaps that very law has failed you and you seek to make things right. You may have witnessed things both wondrous and horrifying, and now you must know more about this hidden truth. Or maybe you're a detective for hire, uncovering secrets for well-paying clients. Whether the mysteries you're embroiled in are local crimes or realm-spanning conspiracies, you're driven by a personal need to hunt down even the most elusive clues and reveal what others would keep hidden in the shadows.

Feat: Persistent Inquiry. You're experienced at gaining access to people and places to get the information you need.
