Work with your DM to find out why you chose this life of hard work originally, and why you decided to leave it... Was it money, fame, something to prove? or you were just tired of the mundane hassle of waking up walking to work only to go home at the end of the day with a few coppers in hand, barely enough to feed yourself.

Feature: Common Worker Class

You can easily relate and talk with the common folk of any city, able to relate in conversations and swap tales easily. You may spend time talking with the local commoners of a town and be able to easily pick up on some rumours in the area and even find lodgings for a night with another common worker. Your DM will decide how these commoners will be affected by this and how many people they can support at the time. Generally, they won't be able to support many more than one or two, but depending on the living situation of the commoners they may be able to find room in a barn or other locations.

 
Suggested Characteristics

Harsh living conditions and years of sometimes thankless service doing a mundane task can alter ones perspective of the world, make them harder and sometimes colder, though many can also be pleasant and strong-willed just the same, hard work is the foundation of shaping their ideals, creating strong bonds, though often will leave them complacent and simple in their views of the world, seeing progress as a waste of time and a possible threat too their lively hood.
