Feature: Made Me a Match
Love can be a tricky road to traverse, but as a matchmaker, you often hold the map to navigate through the thicket. Many of the happy couples that you helped bring together will forever be greatful for your service and are often willing to help you (and your party, if you're lucky) in simple tasks. This could include, but is not limited to, giving information about a person or event that they witnessed, providing a safe space to rest, offering to provide their own services of their craft, or connecting you and your party to someone of use that they might know. You can also ask for other specific favors from the person/s (at the DM's disgression), as long as it does not put them directly in harm's way.
Suggested Characteristics
It takes a certain type of person to dedicate their life to one of a matchmaker, and perhaps a very changed person once they have been drawn away from their work. As a popular figure in any community, it is possible that a matchmaker might have influenced their past just as much as it has influenced them.
