help smuggling smuggler smuggle
Class Overview Smugglers are rogues, thieves, and scoundrels - good, bad, and neutral - who live outside the law or fight against it in order to get the upper hand. Many Smugglers live a life of adventure for the excitement it provides. Others prefer to advance their illicit careers. Some are good-hearted rogues in it for the thrill or to right a wrong done to them or those they love. Others are despicable knaves who serve only one master: the greed that swells inside them. More often, a Smuggler falls somewhere in the middle, changing allegiances and attitudes as the political climate changes, until something larger sets them on a particular course through the galaxy. With a knack for getting into and out of trouble, they have an instinct for self-preservation that keeps them alive. However, it is usually tempered with a need to experience the thrills that the profession has to offer. Smugglers often do not start out seeking to defy authority and break the law. Some are thrust into the profession as a means of rebellion. Others wind up on the wrong side of the law due to bad luck, a poor decision, or circumstances beyond their control. Class Skills The Smuggling class typically is selected by shady, devious, and down-right sketchy criminals. Able to slip microphones onto other beings, hide in the shadows, peek into others' possessions, steal credits, refine spice, disguise their appearance, and sneak about - Smugglers are truly a shadowy force to be reckoned with. Masters of the trade can hijack vessels, pirate stolen vessels, and potentially strip parts from starships to sell on the black market.
