You’ve always loved power balance and the subtlety involved to resolve conflicts. Being a diplomat is a sure thing to do when you like to make an impression, even if you have to act with finesse or with pure intimidation. You’ll have to defend your culture, your roots, but be clever enough to understand cultural differences and accept them. If you know how to seduce, or at least pretend to flatter someone but being firm enough to stand your grounds, then diplomacy is made for you.
- Skill Proficiencies: Deception, Persuasion
- Languages: 2 of your choice
- Equipment: A Diplomat’s Pack.
A diplomat might have a specialty, something he or she leans towards. Before ideals it might be a passion, a concern, a leisure activity or simply a strong point developed through its studies.

When you’re a discussion, trying to convince someone or a group of people, you always get a head start, pointing a contradiction or a biased argument. You sometimes mislead your opponents with figures of speech and complex reasonings. That’s why you always have advantage on Persuasion checks.
Suggested Characteristics
With diplomats often comes the idea of pomp and splendor, but sometimes things are a bit trickier than expected, especially when a diplomat doesn’t seem to fit the job well. It might be a political move or a designed scheme, but surely the diplomat is here for some reason, may it be puzzling.
