Beloved Wallower[edit]
Beloved Wallowers are characters that grew up with especially low money, the lowest of commoners these people were set up for amazing come up stories where any feat they achieved felt great as they started so low. However, instead of seeking out to make any money to have their come up, they instead spent their time learning how to get around paying for things without stealing. Whether this be through a silver tongue, acts of service, or playing music, they always find a way around paying.
Skill Proficiencies:Persuasion and Performance
Tool Proficiencies:A musical instrument worth no more than 5 gp
Equipment:The musical instrument you are proficient in, a peasant’s outfit, a pouch with 2 copper pieces
Feature:Charming Scoundrel[edit]
Due to their antics of never paying, most people who know them are quite pleased to see them walk into any establishment. Due to their ways as a charming figure that refuses to pay, they can usually get most small services that require paying for free through some other means, like offering to do the dishes for a meal, or to play music for a room at an inn. This does not work with getting expensive items, or many items at all, but drinks and lodging are usually fair game
