Specialist

Immortal Freedom RPG > Non-player Entities (NPCs) > Classes

Often skirting the line of what’s legal and what’s questionably ethical, specialists are who you turn to when you need something done—and you need it done well. They are professionals in every sense of the word, using subtlety, speed, and finesse to get the job done. Specialists frequently fall outside societal norms, living as spies, revolutionaries, professional killers, criminals, or special operatives.

Specialists strike primarily from the shadows, entering combat and dropping awareness as quickly as possible to confound their foes and give them the advantage. They’re silent, deadly, and incredibly effective against all manner of target—from character to machine. The shadows are a specialist’s best friend, and they will do everything they can to avoid being attacked.
