Tea Masters spend
so much time perfecting their teas by mixing simple and
complex ingredients that it becomes a daily meditation.
They observe colors and tastes, and share every single
one of their brews. This constant exercise and
introspection gives them a better understanding of
people. They can see the same shades of character in
others that they can see in tea. Tea Masters get +1 to
their Insight checks in regular situations and +3 to their
Insight checks when performing a tea ceremony.
Suggested Characteristics
Tea Masters are people of
few words. They think that the teas they prepare can say
more and with richer subtleties than they ever could.
They are introspective people who value their solitude.
They will isolate themselves frequently to study and
practice their craft. Tea Masters will only take part in
social activities when forced to. When they do, they will
offer to prepare tea so that they do not need to hold a
long conversation. When they do speak, they are
insightful and will reveal things about people that they
themselves didn’t see or realize. Sometimes it is
appreciated, other times not so much.
