In Benia, problems are not solved. They are handled.
You learned early that laws are suggestions, morals are negotiable, and everything has a price. When powerful people need something done quietly—an obstacle removed, a deal smoothed over, a secret buried—they don’t go to the guards or the courts. They come to you.
A Fixer does not pull the trigger, forge the document, or poison the cup personally. Instead, you arrange the right people, the right timing, and the right incentives. When things go well, no one knows you were involved. When they don’t, someone else takes the fall.
In Benia, your reputation is not built on honesty—but on results.

Feature: Prepared Assets
Your greatest asset is not your skill, but your network.
You have a number of Contacts equal to your Proficiency Bonus. Each contact represents a person you know—or can plausibly introduce yourself to—through reputation, favors, or past dealings.
When you enter a city, settlement, or region, you can expend 1 Contact to declare: > “I know someone here.”
Work with the DM to define a helpful NPC appropriate to the location, such as:
- a smuggler, fence, or black-market broker
- a corrupt official or bureaucratic insider
- a merchant with access to restricted goods
- a forger, poisoner, or information broker
- a discreet problem solver or intermediary
That NPC:
- is competent and well-connected, but not all-powerful
- expects reasonable payment, favors, or future leverage
- can provide access, information, introductions, or illegal services the party would otherwise struggle to obtain
A contact remains available for the rest of the campaign unless removed by story events.
You regain 1 expended Contact when:
- a major story arc concludes
- the DM determines your network has meaningfully expanded through play
