You have spent your formative years in a mix of church and state, learning from both to become a champion of your god and your noble family. Martially adept and schooled in the devine, it is your duty to do as your god and land requires, to protect those in need and to smite those who would bring evil to the world.
- Skill Proficiencies: You are proficient in Religion, History and one of the following:
- Languages: One of your choice
- Equipment: A set of fine clothes, a signet ring, a scroll of pedigree, and a purse containing 25 gp
Thanks to your noble birth, and religious background, people are inclined to think the best of you. You are welcome in high society, and any place of worship of any diety, and people assume you have the right to be wherever you are. The common folk make every effort to accommodate you and avoid your displeasure, and other people of high birth treat you as a member of the same social sphere. You can secure an audience with a local noble, or religious leader, if you need to.
Suggested Characteristics
Nobles are born and raised to a very different lifestyle than most people ever experience, and their personalities reflect that upbringing. A noble title comes with a plethora of bonds—responsibilities to family, to other nobles (including the sovereign), to the people entrusted to the family’s care, or even to the title itself. But this responsibility is often a good way to undermine a noble.
