ENFORGER VALO7M7 RUTHLESS THUGS Eniorcers receive Brawl, Coercion, Knowledge (Un- derworld), and Streetwise as additional career sills. IF this isthe character's starting specialization, he may choose two of these skills and gain one free rank in each, without spending experience. While most Hired Guns focus almost exclusively on combat, Enforcers have a focus in intimidation and both learned and instinctual criminal knowledge. Although they have ac ess to Brawl and other combat skil, for the most part Enforcers are not mindless thugs, but canny operators well-versed in the ins and outs of the criminal under- world, When it comes to navigating this world, few are as knowledgeable or adept as Enforcers, Even when Visiting a new planet, Enforcers adapt quickly, picking up instinctively on subtle cues and local slang. In. most criminal organizations, Enforcers fil the dual role of hired muscle and the “face” of a criminal or ganization. The Enforcer brings a criminal syndicate's message to the streets, then ensures that message is followed (and punishes those who stray). Enforcers should have no trouble finding work, whether on the Uncivilized worlds of the Outer Rim or inthe shady un: derworids of the Core planets. Enforcers are a natural fit for organized crime syndicates, where they collect debts and ensure everyone shows the proper respect, and deference to bosses and leaders. Many Enforcers practice a certain subtlety, avoiding police forces while enforcing the rules of gangs and criminal organizations, While most Enforcers have a fondness for violence, they also display a degree of self-control, Violence is a tool in the Enforcer’s arsenal, and not an end init self. Unlike some Hired Gun characters, an Enforcer is ‘more likely to try words before violence, though these words may be laced with venom and the threat of im- rminent violence. However, an Enforcer must alway ready to fight, Ina group, Enforcers can ulfll much Ue same combat role as other Hired Guns, but can also take the lead in negotiations and social interactions. With their Knowledge (Underworld) and Streetwise skills, Enforcers can act as guides when the group delves into the criminal underworld, a realm as dangerous, for the unprepared as any natural environment. A savvy Enforcer can actually help the group to avoid unnecessary fights by knowing what to say during tense negotiations with dangerous criminals, Enfore fers are more likely to take on a social interaction role than some other Hired Guns, since their skills ‘an be put to use negotiating jobs, finding work, and managing social encountersHired Gun: Enforcer Talent Tree Carver Skills: Athletics, Brawl, Discipline, Melee, Piloting (Planetary), Ranged (Light), Resilience, Vigilance {Enforcer Bonus Career Skills: Brow, Coercion, Knowledge (Underwori, Streetwise Ls Cit CIs Cie CBee sn +2 woud testo May sufer 3 umber When an adversary be Remove per rank of Le May rece any Cea CAM Cin Cara Sar War lhe Elias strain netad nouns rl ony Cocoon ray spend Desiny Fo Joke oe LUndereri or Streetvse Cin Teco Cit ‘ly of Coercion checks. or rewver and sutra num siccessta Charm.
