You grew up working in a seedy tavern in the docks of a port city. Drunken patrons religiously swap gossip and rumors about mythical sea creatures and nautical crime. Due to your position, you have learned to mingle with both captains and criminals. Over time you developed the ability to see when trouble was brewing, and how to handle it if necessary.
- Skill Proficiencies: Proficiency in any two of the following: Perception, Persuasion, Intimidation, Insight
- Tool Proficiencies: As a tavern keeper you have proficiency with Brewers Supplies.
- Languages: A diverse group of patrons has taught you a language of your choice.
- Equipment: As a tavern keeper you start with brewer's supplies, a secret coin of the trade, a flask or tankard, a special bottle of spirits or wine, and a belt pouch containing 15 gp.
Every Tavern Keeper has a style, some are rough and tumble brawlers, others are smooth talking people pleasers.
All Tavern Keepers know town secrets and are willing to share with others in the trade. In new towns you are able to build rapport with local tavern keepers, you can quickly gather the local town gossip from a tavern keeper.
