Feature: Criminal Contact

You have a reliable and trustworthy contact who acts as your liaison to a network of other criminals. You know how to get messages to and from your contact, even over great distances; specifically, you know the local messengers, corrupt caravan masters, and seedy sailors who can deliver messages for you.

Criminal Specialty

There are many kinds of criminals. Choose the role you played in your criminal life, or roll on the table:

1. Blackmailer
2. Burglar
3. Enforcer
4. Fence
5. Highway robber
6. Hired killer
7. Pickpocket
8. Smuggler

Variant: Spy

Although your capabilities are not much different from those of a burglar or smuggler, you learned and practiced them in a very different context: as an espionage agent. You might have been an officially sanctioned agent of the crown, or perhaps you sold secrets to the highest bidder.
