Detective

Every once in awhile, there comes a problem that's too much for your run-of-the-mill city guards to solve. Enter: the detective. Working to gather evidence and uncovering facts with an eagle eye, you employ a multitude of social and practical tactics to uncover the truth. Whether you worked alone or with others, whether you worked with the local authorities or as a private eye, at your core, you are an investigator, a slewfoot, a sleuth-- and your gut says that, in one way or another, that will always be the case.

Languages: One of your choice

Equipment: A magnifying glass, a bottle of ink, an ink pen, a folded parchment notepad, a pair of manacles, a set of common clothes including a greatcoat and hat, and a pouch containing 8 gp.
