{"name":"[h2]Guild Artisan[\/h2]","overview":"You are a member of an artisan's guild, skilled in a particular field and closely associated with other artisans. You are a well-established part of the mercantile world, freed by talent and wealth from the constraints of a feudal social order. You learned your skills as an apprentice to a master artisan, under the sponsorship of your guild, until you became a master in your own right.\r\n\r\n[b]Variant: Guild Merchant[\/b]\r\nInstead of an artisans' guild, you might belong to a guild of traders, caravan masters, or shopkeepers. You don't craft items yourself but earn a living by buying and selling the works of others (or the raw materials artisans need to practice their craft). Your guild might be a large merchant consortium (or family) with interests across the region. Perhaps you transported goods from one place to another, by ship, wagon, or caravan, or bought them from traveling traders and sold them in your own little shop. In some ways, the traveling merchant's life lends itself to adventure far more than the life of an artisan.\r\nRather than proficiency with artisan's tools, you might be proficient with navigator's tools or an additional language. And instead of artisan's tools, you can start with a mule and a cart.","skillproficiences":"Insight, Persuasion","toolproficiences":"One type of artisan's tools","lifestyle":"","languages":"One of your choice","equipment":"A set of artisan's tools (one of your choice), a letter of introduction from your guild, a set of traveler's clothes, and a pouch containing 15gp","features":"[b]Guild Business[\/b]\r\nGuilds are generally found in cities large enough to support several artisans practicing the same trade. However, your guild might instead be a loose network of artisans who each work in a different village within a larger realm. Work with your DM to determine the nature of your guild. You can select your guild business from the Guild Business table or roll randomly.\r\n[table][tr][td]d20[\/td]\r\n[td]Guild Business[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]1[\/td]\r\n[td]Alchemists and apothecaries[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]2[\/td]\r\n[td]Armorers, locksmiths, and finesmiths[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]3[\/td]\r\n[td]Brewers, distillers, and vintners[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]4[\/td]\r\n[td]Calligraphers, scribes, and scriveners[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]5[\/td]\r\n[td]Carpenters, roofers, and plasterers[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]6[\/td]\r\n[td]Cartographers, surveyors, and chart-makers[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]7[\/td]\r\n[td]Cobblers and shoemakers[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]8[\/td]\r\n[td]Cooks and bakers[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]9[\/td]\r\n[td]Glassblowers and glaziers[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]10[\/td]\r\n[td]Jewelers and gemcutters[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]11[\/td]\r\n[td]Leatherworkers, skinners, and tanners[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]12[\/td]\r\n[td]Masons and stonecutters[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]13[\/td]\r\n[td]Painters, limners, and sign-makers[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]14[\/td]\r\n[td]Potters and tile-makers[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]15[\/td]\r\n[td]Shipwrights and sailmakers[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]16[\/td]\r\n[td]Smiths and metal-forgers[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]17[\/td]\r\n[td]Tinkers, pewterers, and casters[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]18[\/td]\r\n[td]Wagon-makers and wheelwrights[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]19[\/td]\r\n[td]Weavers and dyers[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]20[\/td]\r\n[td]Woodcarvers, coopers, and bowyers[\/td]\r\n[\/tr][\/table]As a member of your guild, you know the skills needed to create finished items from raw materials (reflected in your proficiency with a certain kind of artisan's tools), as well as the principles of trade and good business practices. The question now is whether you abandon your trade for adventure, or take on the extra effort to weave adventuring and trade together.\r\n\r\n[b]Guild Membership[\/b]\r\n[br]\r\nAs an established and respected member of a guild, you can rely on certain benefits that membership provides. Your fellow guild members will provide you with lodging and food if necessary, and pay for your funeral if needed. In some cities and towns, a guildhall offers a central place to meet other members of your profession, which can be a good place to meet potential patrons, allies, or hirelings.\r\n[br]\r\nGuilds often wield tremendous political power. If you are accused of a crime, your guild will support you if a good case can be made for your innocence or the crime is justifiable. You can also gain access to powerful political figures through the guild, if you are a member in good standing. Such connections might require the donation of money or magic items to the guild's coffers.\r\n\r\n[b]Tradesman[\/b]\r\n[br]\r\nWhen selling goods related to your choosen guild business, you can expect to sell to them at thier base price to vendors you are friendly with.","suggestedcharacteristics":"","traits":"","ideal":"","bond":"","flaw":"","tabledata":"","tags":"","isShared":"on","templateId":"24","blockId":"1459362","world":"f4f8efb5-511a-4465-a937-ff6eb7572bd9","folder":"31015"}
