Feature: One of the Common Folk

Since you come from the ranks of the common folk, you fit in among them with ease. You can find a place to hide, rest, or recuperate among other commoners, unless you have shown yourself to be a danger to them. They will shield you from the law or anyone else searching for you, though they will not risk their lives for you.

Variant Townsfolk: Wandering Laborer

You were still a common nobody before your adventure, but instead of growing up in a single town, you travel to many places. If you chose to travel because you are looking for a place to settle down, for an individual or even if you just wanted to see the world. Regardless of why, you never seemed to stay in one place for too long. No one really got to know you because by the time that someone would; you have already left that location.

 
Variant Feature: All in a Day's Work

Having lived on the road most of your life, you have learned how to present yourself to others in a manner that they seem more likable and trustworthy than other strangers. Other commoners are willing to provide you a place to stay, but if you are willing to put in a days’ worth of work for them you can gain additional perks. After (or possibly before) performing the dedicated task, the individuals are willing to provide provisions, and extended time with shelter free of charge. Additionally they will be more inclined to provide payment for you work, whether if it is through monetary means, rumors, gifts, or possibly a combination.
