Entertainer

You’re a performer who knows how to dazzle a crowd, an artist but also a professional: you never forget to pass the hat after a show.

Are you a lute-strumming singer? An actor? A poet or author? A tumbler or juggler? Are you a rising talent, or a star with an established following?

Pay the Piper

In any settlement in which you haven’t made yourself unpopular, your performances can earn enough money to support yourself and your companions: the bigger the settlement, the higher your standard of living, up to a moderate lifestyle in a city.
Adventures and Advancement

Some of your admirers will pay you to plead a cause or smear an enemy. If you succeed at several such quests, your fame will grow. You will be welcome at royal courts, which will support you at a rich lifestyle.
