The Scavenger goes by many names - Jackal and Vulture to name but two. Where there has been combat, you'll find the Scavenger shifting through the wreckage trying to get the choice parts either for their own collection or simply to sell on onwards. Unlike the Trader, the Scavenger has no morals, this is all about money and opportunity. Some Scavengers are organised and trail behind the Sanctioned Ops with the theory that there is going to combat and wreckage afterwards. Some are loners simply crossing the wastes and picking on the wrecks found there. Society looks down on the Scavengers as the lowest of the low, and they are picked upon by all. They have to work quickly before the gangs or the real clean-up crews arrive, and as such, they have to be able to take care of themselves and know where to sell the stuff afterwards. People may not like them, but many people pay for their products or pay them heavily to retrieve selected items...
Scavengers have the following game statistics.
They can come from any background.
Scavenging requires less brawn and more stealth and speed than might be expected. DEX is very useful for being quick, but a good WIS is required for spotting items to scavenge, whilst a good INT is helpful for recognising what exactly it is you have.
