Smuggler background 5e spell details

You have spent your entire life hiding in the darkness. It makes shady deals behind closed doors. What directed you to participate in a life of crime? Do you crave the thrill of lawbreaking, or did you enter the profession to repay a debt? Is it risking your hide on behalf of a less than honourable noble? A smuggler is an individual trained in the craft of acquisition. This professional thug can deliver whatever, for a cost. Smugglers tend to be more bold offenders than many, preferring bribery or diversion over deception and stealth. But the real question is, why did you quit? Are you currently apprehended? Was your system no longer viable? For whatever reason, you have left your old life in favour of a life of adventure.

Tool Proficiencies: Forgery kit and Vehicles(either soil or water, select one)
Languages: Certainly one of your Pick
Equipment: One set of everyday hooded clothes, backpack with concealed compartment, forgery kit, and a belt pouch comprising 15 gp

Cultures in Smuggler background 5e

Knife blades and harness buckles smeared with black soot; muffled oar-locks along with a moonless, midnight-rendezvous, torchlights on the moors and indicate lights beyond the breakers. Through the ages and throughout cultures, there has and will always appear the inevitable desire, demand, even dire need, for those things regulated or prohibited. These desires and demands, in turn, often spell a chance to an entrepreneurial few. Folks like you, who despite oppressive laws, excessive taxation, or religious or political creeds–have ventured to create available to many what some would see earmarked for the few.

Maybe you bootlegged monastic drink down secret mountain paths, spiriting them away to wealthier markets abroad. Or can you hone your craft duping town security guards and tariff inspectors, moving shipments of stolen art, antiquities, or even individuals under their very noses and in their beloved city? Maybe your motivations increased higher, and you rowed ashore through storm and darkness to bring firearms and supplies to desperate revolutionaries? Or evaded murderous bounty hunters while escorting escaped slaves along forgotten caravan tracks in a last-ditch bid for liberty? In any case, you’ve left in your wake up a vibrant trail of bribed customs officials, befuddled border patrols, and “missing” tax collectors. Overall, not lousy viewing. You’ve only just begun to (re-) create your title on the planet.

Skill Proficiencies: Deception, Persuasion

Equipment: A set of tools (fitting your instrument proficiency choice), a hooded signal lantern, dark traveller’s clothes, and a leather belt-pouch containing five gp If the figures searching can hear you, then you can oppose their tests with a Charisma (Deception) check.
