  • Cons
    • Aggressive Panhandling - The act of begging for coin on a busy street. One of her least favorite cons, the beguiling woman will cover herself in rags and dirty her features to disguise herself as a lowly beggar.

    • Find the Lady - A game of confidence in which the victim is tricked into betting a sum of money, on the assumption that they can find the 'Queen of Hearts amongst three face-down cards. Sleight of hand comes to play in this con, because after luring the 'mark' into a false sense of security, the gypsy will replace the card with a fake and slide the Red Harlot up her sleeve.

    • Gold Digger - An act when she insinuates herself into people's lives to prey on their weaknesses and secure their fortunes for her own motives. Perhaps she will be the kind caregiver, the loving wife, or a lost relative.

    • Sleight of Hand - Pickpocketing is an art. A form of larceny that involves the stealing of money or other valuables from the victim without them noticing the theft at the time. It may involve considerable dexterity and a knack for misdirection. The con is used to get what she wants when confrontation is desired to be avoided.

    • Fortune Teller - The practice of interpreting the meaning of selected cards for the participant. In no way does she read the future, merely possessing a keen eye and sly fingers. The outer appearance, along with the surface personality of the victim will lead to a certain outcome depending on who first approaches. Palm readings may also be offered.


    Equipment
    • Bladed ring - Easily hidden in her palm with a hilt that gives off the appearance of a steel ring, this little blade's sole purpose is to cut into purses whilst she goes fishing in a crowd. (1d4 + 10 piercing | finesse, light)

    • Panpipes - An instrument consisting of multiple pipes of gradually increasing length, made of giant reed while tied together with black, wine red, and dark purple strings weaved together in a wave pattern.

    • Sling - A simple leather pouch in the middle of two lengths of cord. With the ammunition of ball bearings, she can bring down the mightiest of opponents with the right circumstances. (1d4 + 10 bludgeoning | range 30/120)

    • Steel dagger - A useful weapon Nyra often keeps strapped to the side of her left thigh. She holds a deep appreciation for the blade, being that it has been proven useful during times where a intimate event has turned sour. (1d4 + 10 piercing | finesse, light, thrown range 20/60)

    • Steel rapier - A elegant blade of steel with an ornate hilt and scabbard of gold, jewels, and silver. The sword was 'borrowed' from her betrothal in her traveling tribe, who held the instrument at an high esteem. (1d8 + 10 + 2 piercing | finesse)

    • Tarot deck - The standard playing cards used for divination purposes, occasionally shuffled in preparation of a good swindle.


    Feats
    • Actor - Taken at level 12
      • Charisma increased by 1.
      • Advantage on Charisma (Deception) and Charisma (Performance) checks when trying to pass herself off as a different person.
      • Able to mimic the speech of another person or the sounds made by other creatures. Must have heard the person speaking, or heard the creature make the sound, for at least 1 minute. A successful Wisdom (Insight) check contested by her Charisma (Deception) check allows a listener to determine that the effect is faked.

    • Defensive Duelist - Taken at level 4
      • When wielding a finesse weapon with which she is proficient and another creature hits her with a melee attack, she can use her reaction to add her proficiency bonus to her AC for that attack, potentially causing the attack to miss her.

    • Lucky - Taken at level 19
      • She possesses 3 luck points. Whenever making an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, she can spend one luck point to roll an additional d20. She can choose to spend one of her luck points after rolling the die, but before the outcome is determined. She choose which of the d20s is used for the attack roll, ability check, or saving throw.
      • She can also spend one luck point when an attack roll is made against her. Roll a d20, and then choose whether the attack uses the attacker’s roll or hers.
      • If more than one creature spends a luck point to influence the outcome of a roll, the points cancel each other out; no additional dice are rolled.
      • She will regain her expended luck points when finishing a long rest.

    • Mobile - Taken at level 8
      • Speed increases by 10 feet.
      • When using the Dash action, difficult terrain doesn’t cost extra movement on that turn.
      • When making a melee attack against a creature, she does not provoke opportunity attacks from that creature for the rest of the turn, whether she hits or not.

    • Resilient - Taken at level 1 from being a Human Variant
      • Increases her Constitution by 1.
      • Gains proficiency in saving throws using the chosen ability.

    • War Caster - Taken at level 16
      • She has advantage on Constitution saving throws that she make to maintain her concentration on a spell when damage is taken.
      • She can perform the somatic components of spells even when having weapons in one or both hands.
      • When a hostile creature’s movement provokes an opportunity attack from her, she can use her reaction to cast a spell at the creature, rather than making an opportunity attack. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action and must target only that creature.


    Performances
    • Dancer - With the title of the Dancing Vixen, the gypsy upholds such a name in high esteem. She was raised to dance when able to take her first steps. The body is just as powerful as any weapon, and when dueled with a silver tongue, can be an equal to any sword.

    • Panpiper - Music is to stir emotions - be producing tears, releasing stress, or bouts of inspiration. While not a master as her mother was in both music and song, the gypsy would become undone if she did not know a small number of songs so coin may be earned.

    • Poet - Epic, lyric, satire; the ways of speechcraft can be words of magic if spoken correctly. To bring the strongest of men to tears, a lonely maid the essence of love, and a man in despair to the peak of happiness - the gypsy takes great delight in using her skillful tongue to bring bliss to everyone.

    • Sword trouper - Preforming daring feats such as sword swallowing, knife throwing or juggling, and mock combats with others. One of her favorite performances, healed wounds mark her hands from the many years of practice with a sword and will not hesitate to show off her own art of dancing.

    • Tumbler - A form of entertainment where one performs extraordinary human feats of balance, agility, and motor coordination. Somersaults, tumbles, parkour, and much more are on the list of what she is capable of.


    Proficiencies
    • Armor - Light and Medium armor.

    • Weapons - Simple weapons, hand crossbows, longswords, rapiers, scimitars, shortswords.

    • Tools - Flute, lute, pan flute; disguise kit, forgery kit.

    • Saving throws - Dexterity, Constitution, Charisma.

    • Skills - Acrobatics, Deception, Performance, Persuasion, Sleight of Hand, Stealth.


    Valuables
    • Gifted Favor - A gold amulet that has been passed down the line of the Lahket Bloodline. Normally handed down to the next Bandolier that would lead the caravan, Nyrana took it upon herself to acquire it by misappropriate means. Elaborate designs that have been engraved into the talisman is the burning sun in the center and surrounded by the three constellation of Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. (Advantage on rolls against being charmed and frightened)

    • Percheron horse - Percherons are well muscled, and known for their intelligence and willingness to work. Danior; the lovable, stubborn bastard, is a smoky gray stallion with cut short black hair and trimmed tail. "Born with teeth", the horse earned the name from being a steed that came out kicking and biting straight out of his mother's womb.

    • Vardo - The traditional horse-drawn wagon used by many of the Romani people. Possessing a chimney, the interior is highly decorated, intricately carved, brightly painted, and even gilded with gold leaves. Tarot readings, games of chance, and other intimate sessions may take place inside with clientele.
