Crimes: Swindles
7 swindles crimes, from level 1 to the master test.
Each crime costs Courage and runs as a short job of three stages (four for the master test); the listed chance is the plain approach’s overall success. Category mastery (level 100) raises maximum Courage by 10. Failing can mean jail, capped at two hours; bail is 90% of the base maximum reward.
A successful crime has a 40% chance to also drop one of the listed items. Crimes that need a tool pay 25% more.
