Cutpurse

# Cutpurse

Whether by necessity or crooked moral character, cutpurses have turned to a life of crime. They sneak, steal, intimidate, bribe, maim, and backstab—they're a real menace to society. But even the upper crust knows that if they want something done quietly, they hire a Cutpurse. It's a great irony that civilized society simply would not function without them.

One with the Shadows. Hide in a dark place with extreme skill, becoming all but invisible. You can still be smelled, though.
