[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7617880, member: 6803664"] I think this is a great example of every character concept [I]not[/I] needing it's own unique mechanics. Just make a rogue (or bard, or fighter). Make them a criminal. Then mix/match the skills, tool prof, & advantages granted by the background. I'd imagine History, Arcana, Religion, Perception & Investigation would all be important skill wise. Thieves Tools as well. You might also consider what stats are [I]actually[/I] important to this character. For example: I make Grave Robber Bob as a fighter. It's probably not important [I]character-wise[/I] to max out strength. But Intelligence or Wisdom? Because of the skills that key off of them, those seem alot more vital to making a "professional" grave robber. Of course once this is all done? Then you have to justify why this character is now adventuring with the typical odd mix the other players will bring.... [/QUOTE]
