Consumable items. Once per week, a character can select
one consumable item associated with its current rank or lower and can only have one provided consumable in its possession at a time. Consumables provided by a faction can not be sold or traded, but can be used on other players. The item is lost at the end of the upcoming week.
Permanent items. A character has access to the current rank’s items, and of all lower rank items. These items can not be sold, traded, or gifted but might be replaced if destroyed or lost.
Rank 1 – Eyestalker
Required Renown: 1
This is the rank a character receives when first joining a faction. It is available at character creation or any time the character wishes to join. Perks include:
Faction Agent Background. Safe Haven.
Patron Benefits. Assignments, Eyes of the Trade, Guild Muscle, Safe Cellar.
Consumable item. The agent is given a tip about a vulnerable target at The Market. By spending one downtime day, the agent can steal one potion of healing.

Rank 2 – Agent of the Eye
Required Renown: 5
At this rank, characters have shown that they’re aligned with the faction’s goals and are able to take on more responsibility. Perks include:
Permanent item. The agent is told of a secret access panel to a city armory. By spending one downtime day, the agent can steal either a +1 weapon and +1 shield, a +1 rod of the pact keeper, or a +1 wand of the war mage.
Downtime activity. Once, an agent may request training in deception, intimidation, stealth, or sleight of hand, or training with a forgery kit, poisoner's kit, or with thieves' tools. Receiving training takes at least ten workweeks, but this time is reduced by a number of workweeks equal to twice the character's Intelligence modifier (an Intelligence penalty doesn't increase the time needed), with a minimum of two workweeks.
