Couriers make a living delivering goods between various customers. Knowing city limits and the quickest way to get from point A to B are essential skills in the trade, and only the best will prevail.
- Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Acrobatics
- Tool Proficiencies: Navigator’s tools
- Languages: One of your choice
- Equipment: A hand detailed map of the area you work in, a small notebook containing logs of every order you have delivered, a quill, a small pot of ink, navigator’s tools, common clothes, and a belt pouch containing 5 gp.
Feature: Merchant Connections
Through your work, you are very familiar with the various businesses around your home, and how they operate. When needing to find a specific service/item, you will know the best place to find it; if you have worked with the business before, the shopkeep will be more serviceable and offer additional assistance and slight discounts (DM discretion). If you are away from your home, although not knowing exact locations, you will know where to start looking to find something specific.
Suggested Characteristics
Couriers live a simple life and work a simple job, but to make ends meet it can often become a very competitive trade. Couriers can be much more free spirited, having complete control over how and when they make their deliveries, often appealing to those who want to work on their own terms.
