Criminal

Background
sourcePHB
New in SW5eThink of this as the classic D&D 5e Criminal background, adapted for Star Wars 5e: you have a reliable criminal contact who can pass messages across distances, plus two skill proficiencies drawn from Deception, Intimidation, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth.

You are an experienced criminal with a history of breaking the law. You have spent a lot of time among other criminals and still have contacts within the criminal underworld. You're far closer than most people to the world of murder, theft, and violence that pervades the underbelly of civilization, and you have survived up to this point by flouting the rules and regulations of society.

Feature: Criminal Contact. You have a reliable and trustworthy contact who acts as your liaison to a network of other criminals. You know how to get messages to and from your contact, even over great distances; specifically, you know the local messengers, corrupt caravan masters, and seedy sailors who can deliver messages for you.

Skill Proficiencies. Choose two from Deception, Intimidation, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth

Criminals might seem like villains on the surface, and many of them are villainous to the core. But some have an abundance of endearing, if not redeeming, characteristics. There might be honor among thieves, but criminals rarely show any respect for law or authority.
