Experts

[Gwaihir]

Can anyone provide a long list of jobs that would be considered the NPC class Expert?
The DMG is somewhat vague - Smith, Sage, Merchant I think are the examples it gives. Thanks.

The Arms and Equipment Guide has a section on NPC hirelings that is much more extensive... I don't have the book handy at the moment.

I use Expert for people that are highly skilled at several things, or have a job that has several parts. No real need to use Expert for things like carters, bakers, fullers, latrine diggers, pigboys, and the like; that takes care of hundreds on midieval jobs like charcoalers and stuff like that. Just Google for 'midieval jobs' and you'll get several long lists.

Generally, the top line of the various Craft X professions will be Experts: leatherworkers, smiths, glaziers (glass makers), jewelers, tailors, woodworkers, etc.

The reeve or forester will also need to be an Expert if he's not a Ranger.

Yes.

I use Expert for pretty much everything; I'll make the BAB 1/2 and change the good save to Fort or Ref if appropriate. Basically it's a great "everybody else" class and has less of the Commoner's "slain by house cat" problem of extreme suckitude.

Hope it helps. I like Fool for Money and Camp Follower the most. BTW, what is a Pissprophet, anyway?
