You worked under a master of some sort of craft, hoping one day to be recognized as a master of your own. Through some circumstances, whether it be a failure to show improvement, being abandoned by your master, the death of your master, or a change of heart, you have failed to be recognized as a master on your own. You still know much about your craft and are able to pick up the skills with a bit of time. Now you find yourself lost, without a craft to call your own, looking for a new career to get you by.
- Skill Proficiencies: You have watched your master work tirelessly with a great focus on detail and shape. As well as the art of bartering with customers who tried to purchase the works. You gain proficiency in insight (Wisdom) and persuasion (Charisma).
- Tool Proficiencies: Depending on who you worked under, gain proficiency with the tools of your master's trade.
- Equipment: You kept the tools you purchased to work under your master and keep them even at the bottom of your pack. You have the tool you are proficient in from your work.
Feature: Apprentice Work
You are able to craft even with the limited knowledge you learned during your apprenticeship. You can craft anything that uses your tools and proficiency with only the materials. You must, however, roll a d20. On a 9 or lower, you fail to make what you attempted and now have scrap materials. On a 10 or higher, you successfully make whatever it is you were trying to make. On a natural 20, your object is made so pristine it can roll on a table to gain a bonus.
Suggested Characteristics
You may have some regret or sense of failure with the falling out of your apprenticeship. You could have the drive to regain the respect of your master by showing you are worthy of his teaching. You try and cope and just forget about it altogether, hoping to move on with your life and only reluctantly show your party your craftsmanship. If your master died while working under them, maybe you are called to avenge him for the title of master in your craft.
