What wouble be special about a Grave Robber [npc/subclass/background mechanics]

jayoungr · Jun 10, 2019

Proficiency with Thieves' Tools seems like a must, since it involves breaking into things.

I'd lean towards background over sub-class.

But, regardless, some mechanics (assuming 5E);
- advantage on fear saves (i.e. a grave robber has to be pretty resistant to fear)
- proficient skills; investigation, religion, stealth, perception (pick 2?) (Don't see a need for athletics for digging, come on, how good do you need to be with a shovel?)

Now I know what to do with that Glaive/Shovel +2 Earthmover that I wrote up and never found a use for.

Ok. I will say while in a graveyard advantage on stealth, perception, and deception. So he knows to keep a ear out for the cops and bluff them. Advantage when doing research on grave sites.
