Fixer Features Network of Contacts 3rd-level Fixer feature You have cultivated a network of contacts who provide you with information and assistance. You gain proficiency in the Persuasion skill. If you are already proficient, you may choose to gain proficiency in one of the following skills instead: Deception, Insight, or Investigation.

The DC for these checks is determined by the DM based on the difficulty of the request. Resourceful Procurement 3rd-level Fixer feature Your knack for finding what you need grants you advantages when acquiring goods. When you make a Charisma (Persuasion) or Intelligence (Investigation) check to locate or purchase items, you can add double your proficiency bonus to the roll (this replaces your normal proficiency bonus).

Smooth Operator 9th-level Fixer feature Your skill in social situations allows you to navigate complex interactions with ease. You have advantage on Charisma checks when dealing with non-hostile creatures who are indifferent or friendly toward you.

Black Market Connections 13th-level Fixer feature Your connections extend into the black market and other shadowy networks. You can acquire rare or illegal items, including uncommon magical items, through your contacts. The time and cost to obtain such items are at the DM's discretion.

Arrange Safe Passage: Secure travel through dangerous territories or bypass certain obstacles. Obtain Confidential Information: Gain access to secrets typically guarded by powerful individuals or organizations. Master of Influence 17th-level Fixer feature Your ability to influence others reaches its peak. You can cast the suggestion spell at will, without expending a spell slot or material components. The spell's DC is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier. Additionally, when you make a Charisma ability check, you can spend one use of this feature to gain advantage on the roll. You have a number of uses of this feature equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. Roleplaying the Fixer As a Fixer, you thrive on connections and leverage. Your value lies not in brute strength but in the doors you can open and the obstacles you can remove through cunning and negotiation.
