Abilities and Equipment

Moves

Trap Expert
When you spend a moment to survey a dangerous area, roll+DEX. ✴On a 10+, hold 3. ✴On a 7–9, hold 1. Spend your hold as you walk through the area to ask these questions:
•  Is there a trap here and if so, what activates it?
•  What does the trap do when activated?
•  What else is hidden here?

Tricks of the Trade
When you pick locks or pockets or disable traps, roll+DEX. ✴On a 10+, you do it, no problem. ✴On a 7–9, you still do it, but the GM will offer you two options between suspicion, danger, or cost.

Backstab
When you attack a surprised or defenseless enemy with a melee weapon, you can choose to deal your damage or roll+DEX. ✴On a 10+ choose two. ✴On a 7–9 choose one.
•  You don’t get into melee with them
•  You deal your damage+1d6
•  You create an advantage, +1 forward to you or an ally acting on it
•  Reduce their armor by 1 until they repair it

Flexible Morals When someone tries to detect your alignment you can tell them any alignment you like.

Poisoner You’ve mastered the care and use of a poison. Choose a poison from the list below; that poison is no longer dangerous for you to use. You also start with three uses of the poison you choose. Whenever you have time to gather materials and a safe place to brew you can make three uses of the poison you choose for free. Note that some poisons are applied, meaning you have to carefully apply it to the target or something they eat or drink. Touch poisons just need to touch the target, they can even be used on the blade of a weapon.
•  Oil of Tagit (applied): The target falls into a light sleep
•  Bloodweed (touch): The target deals -1d4 damage ongoing until cured
•  Goldenroot (applied): The target treats the next creature they see as a trusted ally, until proved otherwise
•  Serpent’s Tears (touch): Anyone dealing damage to the target rolls twice and takes the better result.

“No matter how subtle the wizard, a knife between the shoulder blades will seriously cramp his style.” —Vlad Taltos, “Jhereg”

Looks

Alexus cleans up nicely enough, at home in the crowd of wealthy statesmen of Kalogis or Lords and Ladies of Arcadia, the richest of Halkuon. So comfortable in fact that few of the pretentious fools would guess that Alexus would be just at home in the back alleys or gambling pits of the seediest parts of the cities or that he was once Deed, a simple name given to him by a mother of the streets after the act of him being conceived more than anything and that he spends his time working for the highest of royalty as the Sovereign’s Shadow.

Alexus generally wears black leather gloves, stylized- to hide the scars on his right hand earned during is misspent youth in shadier climes.

Alexus wears finery but his lithe body gives him a bit too much of the lean, practiced appearance sometimes making him out of place among softer nobles. His tendency to always sit with his back to a wall and watching a window or door also might seem strange in mixed company and he practices at controlling such habits.

The Shadow has been called on to investigate this land returned to fertility, measure its dangers, and most importantly decide what other lands are a threat to those he is an agent to. Of course, if he can make more profit selling the information to another rulership than that which hired him then all the better.
