Inspector
Creature 3 — human, humanoid
FlankerSnareLANDhumanoidhumaninvestigator
Inspectors cultivate a wide selection of skills to investigate arson, murder, and other serious crimes, usually in major urban centers. They can assist adventurers, perhaps noticing an object or creature that seems out of the ordinary without being sure why. Larger societies rely on those with the authority and the ability to interpret and enforce laws. Some carry out these duties fairly, but others are harsh and cruel, imposing severe punishments on anyone unable to pay for clemency.
