Mastermind

But the most persistent urban legend in the Capital is that of the Mastermind.

He’s a masked man who appears to be behind the action of every criminal guild in the city.

A man standing behind a vast web of informants, blackmail, and criminals. All of these working towards his dark designs, one way or another.

The goal seems to be corrupting the very foundations of the Capital. Over the past decade, those plans have been weakening it for some unknown end.

Nobody knows who he is, but the legend says he wears a mask depicting a smiling devil of some sort. Not only that, but can help you with anything.

Be wary, though, because he also always collect his favors. And that price… well, it’s always far greater than it appears…

Goal

You add your Intelligence to nearly everything.

Strength, Dexterity and Skill Checks and Initiative benefit directly from this ability. Not only that, but you add Intelligence to damage, twice to your AC, to your HP, and your Sneak Attack too.

You can spend an Inspiration to add Intelligence to your attack roll, and with ability to summon an Osyluth for flanking to aid in your Sneak Attack, you can deal tremendous damage.

Throw on free action feints, and that aforementioned Intelligence bonus to Bluff checks and you’re contender for the ultimate Intelligence-based character.
