You hammer down your fifth bottle of the night and bid farewell to the tavern owner. You stagger onto the streets and find a nearby alley in which you empty the night's contents. To many, the next morning's hangovers would be hell. To you, they're a ritual. Thus, you lie in bed until the sun begins to set, then you head on out to repeat the cycle once more.
- Skill Proficiencies: Persuasion, Sleight of Hand
- Tool Proficiencies: None
- Languages: Due to your habit of frequenting local taverns wherever you travel, you've picked up on many of the tongues spoken throughout the world. Choose any language.
- Equipment: A dice set, a playing card set, 2 days rations, a waterskin full of ale, a set of common clothes, an empty pouch, and a bedroll.
It takes three times as much alcohol to make you drunk as it would normally. Of course, that shouldn't be an issue for you.
Suggested Characteristics
The most important thing when creating a character with this background is why do they drink? To forget the past? To drown their sorrows? A tragic backstory might set the stage for great character development later in the story. Alternatively, you could just make your character love to drink. This also leads to fun playthroughs.

Posted Jun 26, 2019You should change languages to read "Languages: Due to your habit of frequenting local taverns wherever you travel, you've picked up on many of the tongues spoken throughout the world. You know common and how to order a drink and find a toilet in 2-8(2d4) other languages. "
