Their plans are so devious and effective, they are able to devise strategies that win battles again and again. In this chaotic world, few are capable enough to be called brilliant strategists.
Amateurish Pettifogger: The character loves to debate various topics and dabbles in diplomacy, the trouble is they are awful at such things. Lacking social skills, tact and the charisma for the sensitive art of diplomacy does not prevent them from meddling in it however.
Gruff Diplomat: The character has been trained in the art of diplomacy and is able to break a deal or two to further their goals, lacking without finesse or grace. The character may be able to strike profitable agreements, but falls short of achieving greatness in their work.
Charismatic Negotiator: The character is well versed and accomplised in the art of diplomacy. Blessed with a blend of charisma and intelligence, they are able diplomats and have little trouble at persuading others to see their side of things.
Grey Eminence: The character has mastered the art of diplomacy and uses their superior intellect and natural charm to further along negotiations of all kinds. Tactful, calm, persuasive and a brilliant planner they are able to get whatever they want. The character is an obvious genius and has a very bright future in the world of diplomacy.
Hopeless Spender: The character was trained in stewardship and has come to love money, and unfortunately, they love spending it even more. To make matters worse, they are not very good at making money and are quick to lose any fortune they had to begin with. You will definitely not want this character.
Crafty Merchant: The character was trained in stewardship and has become quite skilled in making money as well. Although they do not excel at governance or mercantile pursuits, they are able enough to manage smaller enterprises effectively.
Silver Tongue: The character is not only very good at stewardship, he or she, is also imaginative and skilled in finding new profitable areas of investment. The characters intellectual agility allows them to make grand statements of promise to those foolish enough to buy into their designs. Very talented at making money and a very persuasive and sharp merchant.
Midas Touched: The character was born with the talent to make large sums of money. They have the natural ability to turn more or less anything into golden success. Excellent in stewardship beyond the levels of most others, the character is destined to invite everlasting wealth and prosperity for the realm.
Excommunicated: This character has been exiled from their religion by the head of their church. The christian example is having the Pope in Rome excommunicate someone from the Catholic faith. This is essentially a curse on their soul and a blight on their character.
Crusader: The character is currently on a holy crusade against the infidel.
