BENEFACTOR ROGUISH ARCHETYP ES

Few rogues make it far in life before needing someone's
help, which means thereafter owi ng that benefactor a
significa nt debt.
If your cha racter 's backstory doesn't already include a
personage of this sort, you could work with your OM to
determine why a benefactor has appeared in your life.
Perhaps you benefited from something your benefactor
did for you without realizing who was responsibl e, and
that person has now just become known to you. Who
helped you in the past, whether or not you knew it at the
time, and what do you owe that person as recompense?
BENEFACTORS
d6 Benefacto r
A smuggler kept you from getting caught but lost a
valuable shipment in doing so. Now you owe that
person an equally valuable favor.
At 3rd level, a rogue gains the Roguish Archetype fea-
ture. The following options are available to a rogue,
in addition to those offered in the Player's Handbook:
the Inquisitive, the Mastermind, the Scout, and the
Swashbuckler.
INQUISITIVE
As an archetypal Inquisitive, you excel at rooting o ut se-
crets a nd unraveling mysteries. You rely on your sharp
eye for detail, but a lso on your finely honed ability to
read the words and deeds of other cr eatures to deter-
mine their true intent. You excel at defeating creatures
that hide among and prey upon ordina ry folk, and your
mastery of lore and you r keen deductions make you well
equipped to expose and end hidden evils.
