Rulers, nobles, merchants, guildmasters, and other wealthy individuals use spies to gain the upper hand in a world of cutthroat politics. A spy is trained to secretly gather information. Loyal spies would rather die than divulge information that could compromise them or their employers.

Sneak Attack (1/Turn): The spy deals an extra 7 (2d6) damage when it hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 ft. of an ally of the spy that isn't incapacitated and the spy doesn't have disadvantage on the attack roll.

The SendingStone review

The Spy is a character with high charisma and dexterity, making them a skilled infiltrator and persuader. However, their low constitution and hit points make them vulnerable in combat situations. Their proficiency in two languages and passive perception also make them useful for gathering information. Overall, the Spy is a valuable asset to any group seeking to gather information or manipulate others. However, they should be protected in combat and may struggle with physical tasks.
