Prerequisite: Level 4+, Background Syndicate Member
The Syndicate doesn’t just train mercenaries, it codifies dirty fighting into an exact martial science. You have integrated the combat style of the Syndicate into your muscle memory. You treat every skirmish like a business negotiation: if an opponent strikes you, they must repay immediately and when the job demands a shift in strategy, you seamlessly adapt to maximize efficiency.
You gain the following benefits:
• Ability Score Increase: Increase your Dexterity or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• Retaliation: Immediately after a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack, you can use your Reaction to make an Opportunity Attack against that creature.
• Fluid Assets: Syndicate agents do not specialize; they adapt to the contract. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, choose one skill in which you already possess proficiency. You gain Expertise in that skill until the end of your next Long Rest. Today you are a fast-talking negotiator, tomorrow you are a silent warehouse scout, and the next day you are a master forger.
