Shadowmasters Exile

You trained your whole life to become a member of the Shadowmasters, the mysterious thieves' guild that controls the realm of Thesk from behind the scenes. Stealth and quick reflexes were just the start of your Shadowmaster education; you also needed to hone your ruthlessness to ensure the safety of the guild's secrets. But one wrong move led to your expulsion from the order. Now you must walk your own path.

A background lists three of your character's ability scores. Increase one by 2 and another one by 1, or increase all three by 1. None of these increases can raise a score above 20.

You have trained to deal particularly damaging strikes. Once per turn when you hit a target with a weapon, you can roll the weapon's damage dice twice and use either roll.

Each background gives a character proficiency with one tool—either a specific tool or one chosen from the Artisan's Tools category.

Choose A or B: (A) 2 Daggers, Thieves' Tools, Caltrops, Costume, Grappling Hook, Iron Spikes, Mirror, 2 Pouches, Rope, Traveler's Clothes, 3 GP; or (B) 50 GP
