Hello! I thought it would be cool to.come up with a Spy Class from Team Fortress 2. Heres what I came up with. Tell me if you have any suggestions, comments, or concerns. Enjoy!
The Spy:
The Spy relies on stealth and deception to get behind his enemy, find their weak spot, and exploit it to quickly and quietly dispatch targets.
Master of Daggers: A Spy's main weapon is his dagger. While most others can't do more than prick their enemies, a Spy knows how to strike just the right spot to inflict heavy damage on an enemy.
*Since Spies think critically about and carefully choose where they attack, Spies use their Intelligence Modifier instead of their Drxterity for bonuses to Attack and Damage when attacking with a dagger.
Special Blade: Every Spy has one dagger that grants them special capabilities. How they came upon it, however, is different for every Spy. Mabey it was granted to them as a rite of passage in a guild of other Spies, or perhaps they pickpocketed it from a wizard and adapted it to their own use. However they came to acquire this blade, a Spie's blade is their most valuable and useful possession.
Quick Build: First, Intelligence should be your highest ability score. Make Dexterity your next highest score. Choose Charisma instead if you plan to take the Infiltrator Secret Training Path.
