Skullduggery is a 5E urban fantasy companion, filled with new city-inspired subclasses, backgrounds, species, feats, spells, and equipment—all balanced for the 2024 5E ruleset. In addition, it comes with city establishment and organization ideas and 4 chapters of an all-new urban-themed Adventure that can be dropped into any campaign: The Oppression of Blood.

This book is for both players looking for new and exciting player options as well as Gamemasters building rough-and-tumble, intrigue-filled, urban campaigns.

We’re designing these Subclasses to be evocative and powerful enough to be very attractive to players, while avoiding game imbalance. All of these subclasses are created to feel at home in and around major cities, but can certainly hold their own in any setting.
You'll have all the elements you need to add that gruff and tough survivalism to your games. There's fitting backgrounds and new weaponry for a myriad of potential customizations.

There's so much stuff!
Twelve would make sense for an even split, but with the 8 OG cast members plus five gives them an unlucky thirteen. With guest appearances, this could work out perfectly fine, I’m sure. Stat hounds should love the volume of data coming their way, right?
