A grifter is a practitioner of confidence tricks, meant to defraud a person after gaining their trust. They exploit their mark’s naivete, compassion, vanity, and greed. The aim is to get the mark to agree to exchanges that are, ultimately, not mutually beneficial. While they’re often portrayed as villains, there are fictional grifters that use confidence games to get back at terrible people that the law can’t or won’t hold accountable. This book contains five pregenerated, ready-to-use statistic blocks, one for each level of expertise (Novice, Beginner, Competent, Expert, and Master). You can use the stats as-is or make a few easy tweaks to customize them. Notes on how to do that and information on personality archetypes and motivations let you quickly put together the perfect character for your campaign. I created the DoubleZero Character Bank series for three reasons. The first is to provide a resource for gamemasters that might need character statistics on the fly. Grab a character at the appropriate level, make a quick alteration or two as needed, and you’re back in the game. The second is for players. If you need ideas for a character or don’t want to spend a lot of time fiddling with numbers and math, you can use one of these. Again, with a few simple tweaks, you can tailor it to suit your vision of the grifter you want to play. The final reason is to showcase the versatility of DoubleZero. The 30 professions listed in the Director’s Cut edition cover a broad range of character types. By giving each their own booklet, I hope to show the potential of “real-world” roleplaying, and the appeal of playing characters without magic or superpowers. The DoubleZero System is a tabletop roleplaying game toolkit. First designed for action, espionage, and thriller adventures, the skill-driven tabletop roleplaying system is perfect for mysteries, police procedurals, and crime dramas based on your favorite television series, movies, and novels. DoubleZero works with any “realistic” modern setting that doesn’t lean into magic, the supernatural, or superpowers. A copy of the DoubleZero: Director’s Cut is required to play. - from the publisher's blurb
