Spy Master

Source: Monster Manual (2024) p. 295, Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

Spy masters have extensive experience in gathering secrets while leaving no evidence of their presence.

Spies

Infiltrators and Informants

• Habitat. Any
• Treasure. Implements, Individual

Spies gather information and disseminate lies, manipulating people to gain the results the spies’ patrons desire. They’re trained to manipulate, infiltrate, and—when necessary—escape in a hurry. Many adopt disguises, aliases, or code names to maintain anonymity. Roll on or choose a result from the Spy Personas table to inspire a spy’s disguise.
