Description

Burglars specialize in breaking and entering to rob homes and businesses. These criminals focus on gaining access to secure buildings and bypassing traps and other security measures while remaining undetected all the while.

Actions & Abilities

Attacks

Composite Shortbow (deadly-d10, propulsive, reload-0) +14 — 1d6+4 piercing: This shortbow is made from horn, wood, and sinew laminated together to increase the power of its pull and the force of its projectile. Its compact size and power make it a favorite of mounted archers. Any time an ability is specifically restricted to a shortbow, it also applies to composite shortbows unless otherwise stated.
Sap (agile, nonlethal) +12 — 1d6+4 bludgeoning: A sap has a soft wrapping around a dense core, typically a leather sheath around a lead rod. Its head is wider than its grip to disperse the force of a blow, as the weapon's purpose is to knock out its victim rather than to draw blood.
Shortsword (agile, finesse, versatile-s) +14 — 1d6+6 piercing: These blades come in a variety of shapes and styles, but they are typically 2 feet long.
