Feature: Ambassador's Candor
You've represented your clan with pride for the better part of your mature life, so you know how to carry yourself in new places and among new faces. Through your noble mannerisms and appearance, you're able to request an audience with the leadership/council of nearly any city, town, or village with relative ease. Some cities' infrastructures are harder to crack than others, so work with your DM to determine how your feature effects this difficulty.
Suggested Characteristics
An emissary is one of the common people, for better or for worse. Most emissaries look on their humble origins as a virtue, not a shortcoming, and the ideals of their tribe remain very important to them.
