You noticed the world was lacking in something: There was a product or service that no merchant offered, or there was an existing one that could be refined. Perhaps you're an artisan with an idea so bold and profitable that you're willing to compete against other Guilds. With an eye for detail, a gift of the gab and a willingness to develop, organize and manage a business venture, you set out in search of opportunities, taking any of the risks in order to make a profit. Your can-do attitude has led to the establishment of that gap in the market.
Choose a product, service or some other venture and work with your DM to detail the nature of your entrepreneurship
- Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Perception, Persuassion, History, Intimidation, Deception
- Languages: Two of your choice
- Equipment: A product youve created/innovated, a business ledger, a Quill and ink set, a set of noble clothes, and a pouch containing 15 gp.
Feature: Reputation Preceeds You
As an established entrepreneur, you can rely on certain benefits that notoriety provides. Guilds or businesses will offer you lodging, food, products or services in the hope of becoming a partner or stakeholder. In some cities and towns, a guildhall offers a central place to meet other merchants, which can be a good place to meet potential patrons, allies, or hirelings and further develop your business acumen.
Money often wields tremendous influence in all aspects of life. If you're accused of a crime, need information or access to areas not available to the public. Deals can be struck. You can also gain access to powerful political figures or nobles. Such connections might require the donation of money or establishment of contracts.
As a result of your risky ventures once a month you either make profit or incur a debt. Role a d20 and your hit dice. Your hit dice is the total amount of profit or debt x 10
Rolls of 1-10 on the d20 = debt
Rolls of 11-20 on the d20 = profit
You may use Luck to re-roll the dice but must take the new roll.
At the DMs discretion, rolls of natural 1 or 20 can result in further loss or gain.
Suggested Characteristics
Entrepreneurs are hardworking and ambitious - they understand the value and importance of relationships and rapport, but can be vulnerable to frustration and over assertiveness when encountering people who cannot see the bigger picture.
