-Faceless creatures wear masks- either figuratively or literally, if you prefer. This makes the class an excellent choice for anyone that's engaged in espionage or deep-cover work, or anyone else that simply wishes to reap the benefits of having an unreadable (and therefore pliable) identity. The [[Trickster]] and/or [[Charlatan]] classes synergize extremely well with being Faceless if you wish to do a lot of social maneuvering, while if you prefer for your unknowability to be more physical, dramatic and explicitly supernatural you may wish to check out [[Darkseeker]].+Faceless creatures wear masks- either figuratively or literally, if you prefer.

-^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**I Know a Place:** You have secret safehouses all over the place, and can reveal one anywhere on demand- a cottage, apartment, office, suite, sewer cul-de-sac, or similar. You and a small party can rest in a safehouse without worrying about being found, interrupted, or spied on. If something happens and your safehouse gets revealed (like if somebody is careless and gets followed back to it), nothing inside it or in its ownership records (if any) can be used to trace you. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Calling in a Favor:** You can freely use this ability to reveal a previously-unknown safehouse even in places you haven't physically been before. Your methods are as mysterious as you are. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Nonspecific Locations:** You cannot reveal a safehouse inside of a dungeon or in close proximity to another location of interest. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Burned Out:** Once you reveal a safehouse, you can use it for the remainder of the current session. It stops being accessible in any later sessions, but you can always reveal a new one. | +^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**What Could Do This:** You can somehow make the fearless afraid, the bloodless bleed, the fireproof burn. When you would inflict a condition to a target that is immune to that condition for whatever reason, you can choose for them to be inflicted with it anyway. When you inflict a condition on a target that ignores some or all of its negative effects for whatever reason, they suffer the full negative effect of the condition as normal. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Mojo:** Inflicting a condition on a target that they could usually ignore costs 1 point of Mojo. |
-|{{fa>caret-right?24}} ^{{fa>star?24|Alternative}} |{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Secret Cache:** Some of your safehouses are more than just secret places to rest and have clandestine meetings in.- you can also choose to reveal a safehouse that is stocked with back-alley and black-market equipment/services that you happen to need. Your safehouse can act as any establishment from the Safehouse Establishments list below. The safehouse and its services disappear at the end of the current session as usual. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Heavier Price:** Revealing an establishment safehouse costs 2 Supplies if you roll the establishment it contains randomly, or 5 if you want to pick one specifically. The die roll to determine a random establishment is not a trigger die and cannot be affected by any ability or effect that manipulates trigger dice. |+
