Urban Mediator Image

Your background as an Urban Mediator reflects your role as both a spiritual guide and a pragmatic problem-solver within a bustling urban environment. Blending the wisdom of a cleric with the day-to-day demands of an interconnected community, you have honed skills to navigate the complex dynamics of city life. Whether diffusing tensions between feuding factions or lending a compassionate ear to troubled citizens, your actions resonate with a profound understanding of human needs and urban challenges.

 
Skill Proficiencies:

Insight, Persuasion: Your ability to read people's emotions and articulate compelling arguments makes you a trustworthy mediator in times of conflict.

Tool Proficiencies:

Vehicles (Land): Your familiarity with navigating bustling streets and transporting goods or people ensures smooth travel within and beyond the city.

Languages:

Two additional languages of your choice: Growing up in an urban center exposed you to the diverse cultures and tongues of those who inhabit it. Your knowledge of additional languages allows you to communicate effectively across various communities.

Equipment:
  • A holy symbol (representative of your spiritual leanings or the faith you serve)

  • A set of common clothes reflecting an urban flair

  • A small pouch containing 15 gold pieces

  • A personal token or keepsake gifted by a community member you assisted (e.g, a lucky coin, charm, or letter of thanks)

  • A book containing a record of disputes you’ve mediated or spiritual guidance you’ve provided


 

 
Feature: Urban Navigation

Your innate familiarity with urban environments gives you an almost supernatural ability to navigate cities. Whether you’re traversing winding alleyways, cutting through busy marketplaces, or finding hidden meeting spots, you instinctively identify key locations, resources, and alternative paths in emergencies. Additionally, you have a knack for identifying areas of urban opportunity—unregulated markets, shelters, or quiet spots for reflection—and assessing the social and economic pulse of the city.

Benefit: When in a city, you gain the following advantages:

  • You can always find the fastest route to a destination unless it is magically hidden.

  • You have advantage on checks to locate specific goods, services, or information.

  • You can recall and interpret the unspoken "rules" or customs of the local community.
