About this class
An agent is an operative skilled in deception and avoidance, but also trained in self-defense and the use of deadly force. With the objective of discovering the secrets of the world, for their own cause or on behalf of someone who requires their very specific set of skills, the agent is always one step ahead. Some agents are trained from birth, molded by secret societies for plans to do their bidding. Others are molded by their surroundings, learning skills on the fly where even the best of plans need a contingency for failure to avoid death.

FLASHBACK
You can move the spotlight to a flashback, where you describe to the GM a course of action you previously took to prepare for the current scenario, and how that preparation affects it now.
The GM sets a Stress Cost for how difficult the action is:
1 Stress: An easy action for which you had ample opportunity. (Such as arranging a friend to arrive early to be a surpise ally)
2 Stress: A complex or unlikely opportunity. (Such as sneaking a weapon into a hiding spot under a table)
3 Stress (or more): An elaborate action that involved special opportunities or contingencies. (Such as replacing a guard with your own agent)You then roll the appropriate action roll to determine the success of this action. You cannot use a flashback to alter already established story details.
Class items
- A disguise kit
- A book of secret code ciphers
