Streetwise

Category: Social

Streetwise (formerly Leadership) represents your ability to navigate the criminal underworld, find black markets, and deal with gangs, smugglers, or corrupt officials. It is the gritty counterpart to Society. If you need to fence stolen magical artifacts, hire an assassin, or find an illegal Blood Magic tutor in the slums of Cyoria, you need Streetwise.

Common Uses

The Black Market: Finding illegal goods, poisons, or fenced items.
Underworld Contacts: Locating and negotiating with criminals, smugglers, or the local thieves' guild.
