Working Inns and Taverns your whole life, you've become quite an expert at crafting and draughting the perfect ale.
You've also become quite adept at helping people through their problems by providing them with a drink and an ear to listen.
Every bartender has their specialty. Here are some crowd favorites.
| d6 | Specialty Brew |
|---|---|
| 1 | "Sir Hopscotch" - A dark lager with more flavor than the Queen's knickers. |
| 2 | "Wicked" - a bright blue, low alcohol drink which tastes like no fruit in particular. |
| 3 | "The Boomer" - A light IPA. Two sips and you'll be talking about how things were better in the olden days. |
| 4 | "The Zoomer" - A shot of Trail Snail goop, dropping into a half a pint of coffee. |
| 5 | "White Dragon" - A cocktail made from vodka, coconut milk, and cherry liqueur. |
| 6 | "Sunshine" - it's like moonshine, but it knocks you out all day. |
Over many years, you've taught yourself the best ways to deal with drunkards. Not only does this include throwing them out at closing time, but you also know how to befriend them just right. You can get any information out of them that you need.
When dealing with someone under the influence of alcohol, and who you are not in combat with, you have advantage on all social rolls (such as persuasion, Deception, and Insight).
Innkeepers and bartenders will see you as a fellow colleague, and treat you with warmth and hospitality (though this will rarely extend to free lodgings).
Suggested Characteristics
There is more to you than just being able to make mouth-watering ales. What sort of person are you?
