-Mastermind is a class best suited to games that resemble a heist movie, as its abilities allow its user to prepare retroactively for what comes up during the course of an adventure (but only if sufficient preparation time was invested beforehand). This also means that it should probably be disallowed by any referees that prefer to maintain total control over their dungeons, as it allows a clever player to bypass or straight-up cancel several key problems that can occur in one.

 ^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Stochastic Pattern:** You can determine the results of an exploration die check in a facility you've cased. This allows you to (for example) select whether you meet an encounter, experience a special dungeon-specific effect, or simply enjoy a quiet moment. You don't have to roll it, you simply declare what it's going to be. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Ambush:** If you choose to have a random encounter, you and your party are very ready for them when they show up. Your side gets automatic surprise (take a full round of actions before initiative even gets rolled). \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Mojo:** Controlling the exploration check result costs 1 Mojo. |

+^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Keeping Score(s):** You've got almost a sixth sense when it comes to finding valuables. At any time, you can ask the referee if there's unfound treasure/dosh/resources/intel/other goodies anywhere on your current map. If there is, they show you which node it's in. If not, they tell you you've gotten everything (at least so far). You can do this as many times as you wish to reveal the location of multiple hidden valuables. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Inconsistent:** The referee doesn't tell you the exact nature of the undiscovered valuable, just that it exists. 1 lone point of Provisions tucked in the back of a cabinet counts as an undiscovered valuable just as much as a camouflaged vault bursting with Dosh. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Mojo:** Every time you ask the referee about undiscovered valuables, roll a trigger die. If the result is 1-6, then doing so costs 1 Mojo. You cannot use this ability if you have no Mojo remaining. |
