Pip

Robbed the Tallyman eleven times, then signed his ledger. Extra strikes and gold that turns into damage.

Skill: Payday

Payday3

Deal damage equal to 12% of your gold. Your gold is not spent.

12% of the gold you carry, ignoring armor. Nothing is spent, so the richer the run, the harder it hits. Like every skill it costs mana only: it has no cooldown and does not end your turn.

Passive: Pickpocket

Every strike that lands pockets gold, half as often while the Tally is owed.

Each strike pockets 5% of the floor's standard gold (at least 1). While a depth's Tally is still owed only every second strike pays, so settle it early.

Specialization: Fence

Sell for 60% of the price. Refreshing the market costs 25% less.

Selling pays 60% of the price instead of 40%. With the Coin Mimic's Tongue it reaches 75%, the most selling can pay.

A specialization replaces the passive; you play one or the other. Pip's opens when Pip's own best floor is 20 or deeper, and you switch it in the hero's details at hero select. The Daily Descent and the Season Descent always use the base passive.

Base stats

Pip starts every run with +16 health, +2 armor, +1 power, +1 strikes, +8% crit chance, +50% crit damage, +15% gold find, +3 mana, a Rusty Shortsword and 30 gold (more with the Endurance trial or the Pilfered Crown). Everything else comes from gear. What each number does is on the stats page.

What the bosses say

Each boss has one line kept for Pip, said once, at the start of a fight.

Boss	The line
The Tallyman	Pip. You have robbed me eleven times. I invoiced you twelve.
Mother Brine	A thief. I love thieves. They always come back for what they left.
Avarax	Little thief. Your contract is the finest thing I own.

Unlocking Pip

While locked, hero select says: "Defeat Mother Brine on floor 20 to unlock." End a run past floor 20, so with Mother Brine beaten and floor 21 reached, or win a run. Floors past 10 are part of the full game. The check runs when a run ends, and a Daily Descent or a seed-code run does not count.
