Spies use charm and deception to veil their true intentions. If forced into combat, they seek to end such conflicts quietly and decisively.
Spies
Infiltrators and Informants
Spies gather information and disseminate lies, manipulating people to gain the results the spies’ patrons desire. They’re trained to manipulate, infiltrate, and—when necessary—escape in a hurry. Many adopt disguises, aliases, or code names to maintain anonymity. Roll on or choose a result from the Spy Personas table to inspire a spy’s disguise.
