Reading: Criminal
Back to ListCriminal
You lived outside the law, whether as a burglar, smuggler, enforcer, fence, or member of a thieves' guild. Crime was your profession, and you were good at it -- or at least good enough to survive. You might have turned to adventuring to escape your past, to pursue bigger scores, or because a job went wrong and now you need to disappear. Whatever the reason, you still know how the underworld operates, and those skills don't simply fade away.
