[QUOTE="Kilmore, post: 348624, member: 5226"] How about a professional courtier? Basically, you work for a local baron. You are trying to work your way up to the Kingdom's Royal Court, where you will have vast prestige and influence. In order to do so, you must have prestige and influence already. So to get it, you go adventuring. By adventuring, you hope to: 1. Make a name for yourself to boost your prestige. 2. Get some gold to boost your prestige. 3. Learn about different people and places, boosting your influence. Why would the baron let you adventure?... 1. He's getting a more effective courtier out of the deal, at least for a little while. 2. He's keeping tabs on adventurers running around in his barony. 3. Perhaps the adventure involves the baron in some manner, and you are his representative in the affair. As far as what class to play with the above ideas? A bard would seem to be the most immediately suitable, though Fighter, Cleric, Wizard and Rogue may be workable as well. Actually, I'm working on a specific "courtier" class, but I'm afraid it won't be ready by your game day. [/QUOTE]
