You have a knack for lying and cheating others through your natural charms and silver tongue. You can't help but use others around you to get what you want, often for more nefarious purposes. It's not surprising for you to have a criminal history and frequently find yourself on the wrong side of the law, but you've acquired the skills necessary to keep your head attached to your body.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two skills - Sleight of Hand, History, Deception, Intimidation, Performance, or Persuasion
- Tool Proficiencies: You gain proficiency in the Forgery Kit.
- Equipment: You get a forgery kit.
Feature: Iconographer
As lying is key to your success, you've learned to reinforce this ability with a knowledge of icons, their origins, meanings, and usages. If you spend more than 5 days in a city, you will have passively noticed and learned any important symbols of major groups within the city. In addition, you are skilled in understanding new symbols, granting advantage to insight checks to determine information related to or replicate an unknown icon, crest, seal, or other form of symbol.
Suggested Characteristics
Deceivers tend not to follow all the rules and laws of an area, but that doesn't always make them bad people. While it is less common, some merely use their natural talents to smooth relations between opposing groups. Others may use just see it as a gift that grants them greater freedom to travel the world as they are more easily able to navigate the politics of the world. And of course, some merely use it to smuggle goods, commit crimes without consequence, or enjoy the chaos they may cause.
