You seek out justice by your own means. you have a code of ethics that you live by, and those who seek to harm innocents rightly fear you. While meting out justice with your weapons or fists, you wear a disguise to hide your true identity. You have two distinct lives, one by night as a masked vigilante, the other by day as a noble, farmer, or anything in between.
Choose a name a costume for your vigilante persona. Your costume can be of any design, but has the properties of Leather Armor. Your vigilante name can come from a specific characteristic, favored weapon, or even the location you are based in. Many vigilantes also have an arch nemesis, or allies on the side of good. These may come from play or be something you discuss with your DM before beginning.
- Skill Proficiencies: Intimidation, Stealth
- Tool Proficiencies: Disguise kit, Thieves’ tools
- Equipment: A vigilante costume (See note), thieves' tools, and a notebook containing information on evil doers
Your costume can be of any design, but you must discuss with your DM what kind of armour or clothes that it would be. This is due to specific classes only having access to certain types of armour.
Your vigilante life is separate to your normal life. In either persona, you cannot be identified as the other, without giving someone an obvious reason to suspect the lie. You are experienced in switching between your two personas. You can switch between your standard armor or clothes and your vigilante costume as an action, provided your other armor is light or medium. This is due to your practice at the art of quick change. If a creature can see you while you switch between identities, they will know your two identities.
Suggested Characteristics
Vigilantes are very secretive, usually trying to keep their two lives seperate. This may involve lying to those around you and sneaking around at night after everyone has already retired to bed.
