Acquisitions Incorporated

CrRCLE OF DREAMS

Normally, druids who come from the Circle of Dreams

have a connection to the dreamy lands of the Feywild.

As an Acquisitions Incorporated druid, y ou maintain

this connection and expand it, e mbracing the marketing

potential of dreams and positive energy. This effluence of

radiance and light is meant to be harnessed, shaped, and

shared with as many people as possible. And if they're

willing to pay for that sharing, so much the better.

CIRCLE OF THE LAND
Any o rganization that wants to make an imprint on the
world needs to employ an e nvironmental cons ultant, en-
suring that they're engaging with the land in a sustain-
able and efficient manner. As a druid of the Circle of the
Land, your role in your franc hise makes extensive use of
your knowledge of nature. Your expertise e nsures that
the exploits of the franchise don't disturb nature-and
just as importa ntly, prevent nature from disturbing the
franchise.

CIRCLE OF THE MOON

Circle of the Moon druids are known for the myriad a n-

imal forms they wear, but those forms need not tie you

to the wilderness. In rat form, you can s lip past the sen-

tries of a well-guarded g uildhall to secure trade secrets.

On a risky urban operation, you can adopt the form of a

pigeon or an alley cat to be your party's chief scout and

spy. And in a pinch, your most combat-focused animal

forms make you an exceJlent hand at black ops, able to

infiltrate, extricate, or e radicate with equal ve rve.

CIRCLE OF THE SHEPHERD

The world is a dangerous place, and the innocent always

need champions to keep the figurative and lite ral wolves

at bay. Others in your ci rcle focus on protecting the

helpless creatures of the wild from natural and unnat-

ural threats. But your vow of protection e xtends to the

common folk as well, recognizing that they are just as

much a part of the natural world-and are often just as

scared and helpless as any c reature left to the me rcy of

that wo rld.

FIGHTER

The best thing about blood money is that it spends just as

readi/y as any other kind of money.

Some fight to slake bloodlust. Othe rs fight for the thrill
of besting an enemy. Some fight for a code, a faith, or
an ideal. But a true pragmatist fights only for coin, un-
derstanding that battle is a means to an end and not an
e nd in itself. A fighter in an Acquisitions Incorporated
campaign often fights for money above all else, whethe r
focusing on a primary role as a combat specialist or pro-
viding martial backup for the franchise as needs be.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Whethe r your intention is to e nd a ta rget's threat or
s imply deliver a message (viole ntly o r otherwise), those
around you can take comfort in knowing that when you
take on a job, the job gets done. Whe n your franchise

loses its direction o r collective nerve, you stand taJI with

the powe r of your convictions and a n even more pow-

e rful assortment of weapons to keep th ings on track.

If that sometimes inspires a need to c rack some rival

s kulls, that's jus t the way of war. And if those s kulls

sometimes turn out to belong to people on your own

s ide of the ledger, weJI, that's just business.

You are anything but reckless, however, recognizing

the effort that goes into doing a job right. Berserkers

flailing about the battlefield and challe nging all comers

have a certain amount of flamboyance, sure. But you

can't spend the coin you've been promised for a job if the

job leaves you dead.

KEEPING THEM GUESSING

No combat tactic is too down-and-dirty when your

life and t he welfare of your franchise are on the line.

Smart fighters use any means necessary to gain the

edge in battle, whether those tricks were learned from

a long-gone drill instructor, first used by an opponent

against you, or an original tactic perfected by long hours

of training.

MARTIAL TRICKS

d6 Trick

You are an expert at pretending you've been injured

to the point where you can' t possibly go on. By goad·

ing foes to finish you off, y ou keep your allies safe as

you reveal how much fight you still have in you.

2 You always keep a small pouch of salt or sand at your

belt. If you can blind an opponent, even momentarily,

you can usually end a fight quickly.

3 You fight with your off hand at the start of a battle, so

that your opponent sets their defenses and attacks to

one side. Then you quickly switch hands at the most

opportune moment, making your foe wonder what

other tricks you might play.

4 Swearing, name-calling, political satire-you do it all.

6

You make use of a range of down-and-dirty fighting

epithets that would make an ogre barbarian blush.

You constantly converse with your opponents during

the battle, doing whatever you can to distract them

or get into their heads. It's surprising how many com·

batants enter a fight not knowing whether their boots

have come untied.

You have a belt pouch specially made to release ball

bearings or caltrops in the thick of the fight, forcing

your enemies to avoid those hazards while fending

off your blows.

WIELDING THE BEST

ft might seem ridiculous to say that your weapon, a rmor,

or s hield is your best friend and most stalwart com-

panion- but you'll take that risk. lfyou had to choose

between entering a battle without your favorite combat

gear or without the party's bard, Singy McLuteface can

s it this one out. You and your equipment have got this.

Your piece of signature equipment is more than a tool

that has never let you down. It le ts others know who

you a re on the battlefield. Even when your features are
