The only real difference between the GRAVE DIGGER and the GRAVE ROBBER is whether they are interring the corpse, as per the former, or stealing it, as per the latter. Regardless, they all are hardy folk, in rough and ready clothing that somehow always exudes the faintest stench of death. Every Grave Digger/Robber always carries a large shovel (as per Improvised), a lantern, and a heavy cloth sack. As the job is obviously a perilous one, they are also armed with a weapon, which can be rolled for on the table below:

Roll Weapon

1-2 Club

3-4 Dagger

5-6 Staff

In addition the Grave Digger/Robber will have 1-3 items of extra gear; roll on the table below to determine what these are: 

Roll Extra Gear

1 Leather Jack

2 Book: "Practical Anatomy of the Creatures of North-western Allansia" by Doctor Quimmel Bone

3 Bone pipe and pouch of Smoking Weed

4 Hipflask of Special Brew

5 Holy Symbol of a random God

6 Ten foot wooden pole

Grave Diggers are generally employed in cities and larger towns across Titan, appointed by guilds, councils, temples and churches. It is a lonely, thankless job, and, perhaps not surprisingly, many Grave Diggers realize the value of the cadavers they are burying, and, after hours, become Grave Robbers and dig the bodies back up again to sell on the black market, to necromancers, cults, anatomists, marrangha mages and the like.

One such Grave Robber is Xundle Nightlamp of Kalagar (Heroes of Titan, p. 43), who studies at the medical college during the day and appropriates corpses after dark. Meanwhile, in the city of Blackhaven on the borders of Gallantaria and Brice, lurk the nefarious Mister Hogg and Mister Kilmarney, known body-snatchers frequenting of the Meinster Cemetery, and imbibers of Steadman's Dark Horse ale at the Three Fingers Tavern.
