The Fox

The elders tell a story about Fox, who knows lots of tricks, and Hedgehog, who knows one: how to curl up into a ball when there's danger. Fox can't eat Hedgehog when he's all curled up, so in the story Fox goes hungry. But you're not that Fox, and this is no story. You want that Hedgehog? Go get a knife.

The Fox is Stonetop's clever rogue — a skirmisher and silver tongue who wins through misdirection, leverage, and the well-placed blade rather than brute force. In the village they're the one folks come to when a problem needs solving by guile, and at the table they read rooms, spring ambushes, and slip away clean.

Driven by Freedom, Comfort, Prestige, or Trickery.

A natural mimic, the Fox can poach combat and woodcraft tricks from The Heavy, The Marshal, The Ranger, and The Seeker.
