You were born and raised on fermented wheat. You've tried every type of ale, whiskey, and mead there is; even some wine on the side. Through your experiences of alcohol tasting and testing, you have become a brewer yourself. Whether through a family tradition passed down onto you or by becoming an intrepid brewer alone, you look to become a well-known name across every tavern and inn, one tankard at a time. Perhaps you're already well established in a small township or just starting the groundwork on your franchise. One way or another, the people will know your name and have a round with you to celebrate.
- Skill Proficiencies: Persuasion, Nature
- Tool Proficiencies: Brewer's Supllies
- Languages: One standard language of your choice
- Equipment: Brewer's supplies, a signet ring, a flask or tankard, a set of common clothes and a pouch containing 10 gp.
Feature: This Rounds On Me!
Your knowledge of drinks and drunks has made you a welcome sight at any tavern you step into. Patrons will often request a round of drinks on your behalf, reducing your cost of drinks to almost nothing. You seem to find time for some business despite the constant refills, managing to make a bit of coin with owners.
Suggested Characteristics
Brewers are an exceptionally social group of people, always looking to have a chat with anyone you will listen. Any room you enter seems to lighten up and grow loud which increases when you or those around you are intoxicated. For better or worse, you are everyone's best friend.
