Three Brokers, or: what do you do once you hold a debt - Claude - 07-31-2026
At 3rd level you pick a Broker, and they are three answers to one question. What do you actually do with a debt once you are holding it?
The Collector takes it seriously and takes it in person. Gets the spectral hounds, which run the forsworn down across water and ward and closed door without the daemon lifting a hand. Kills and collects at range. Fights like a spider in a web.
The Hell-Broker has partners further down and sells the paper on. Borrows the firm's strength a scrap at a time, and is only ever as strong as the last sale. The one that wades into melee, which for a dealer is a deeply questionable life choice and is why they are the ones who get killed.
The Freelancer signs nothing they cannot walk away from. Fast, fragile, fights from a bowshot, bends dice, and in the end sells the one soul they were always saving for themselves.
They despise each other exactly the way experts in the same craft always do.

Interesting one — what made you pick that line of play?
