Breaking and Entering: Cons, Heists, and Hold-ups!

Welcome to the Den of Thieves, my friend, where the most noble of professions is practiced: Breaking and Entering! We are liars, cons, crooks, and politicians. We are either fabulously wealthy, handsome and powerful, or as dirt poor and mangy as that grimy little Wererat over there in the corner. His name is Charles, by the way. We come from all walks of life, and from all over the world. And here in this glorious underground hovel we can find refuge from the force of law and whatever moral compass is currently running the city above.

We have an an astonishing array of services to offer our members. Here, we are standing in the central court. A large stone cylindrical room with balconies upon balconies a dozen stories high. On the various floors your find all manner of residences, services and ..."second-hand" shops. The Bar the covers the ground floor of the atrium here is the Golden Noose; a bazaar of haphazard benches tables and tents filled with our members downing a liquid lunch before a ill-earned rest, liquid courage for those about to head topside for an honest day's work, or a keg to toast to our knew friend here: YOU! I expect great things from you! And should you be doomed to fail... well, head up tot he 4th floor. There's a lawyer office there who gives out free Last Will and Testaments to all of our new arrivals.

Just read the fine print carefully. HE is the default beneficiary on all new contracts...

Level 5
These are a series of 1-shot encounters. Encounters will often have a lot of social engineering, skill checks, and combat depending on how your team approaches the challenge. While there is no XP, players will level up depending on the challenge of the heist/con/mission.

The party will take jobs and have patrons in your home base, the Den of Thieves. The Den also hosts a number of facilities and characters you can interact with to get various bonuses/boons/perks to use on the Job you take on.

Character creation is Point Buy or Standard Array.
Anything legal is fine.
You have 500g to spend on any mundane items you want to start with. You can carry up to 2 potions of healing. They are $75g each.

And I'm 100% good with homebrew if its generally just refluffing something.
Character alignment is whatever you want it to be! But you WILL be working with a team of other PCs. Backstabbing could be a thing, so beware. I wont police your motivations and actions. DO NOT kill the fun of the game 'because my character would do x'.

The start of every game will be in town to talk to NPCs, find a job, and negotiate with the different entities in the Den to get whatever boons and perks are available for the mission. Most boons come at a price, sometimes just cash, or sometimes the patron will give you an extra side-mission to accomplish on your Job (i.e. You are robbing a Lord's mansion. You make a deal with the tavernmaster to bring back to her a keg of his finest ale from the Lord's winecellar. In return, she loans you her Boots of Spider Climbing for the job. And if you fail her, you are gonna face a mighty fine. and if you lose the shoes or cant pay up for failing, she'll kill you.) Hey, its a rough neighborhood.

Payment is rendered at the start of session. $10 per 3-4 hour session.
