Mulmaster Aristocrat

Source: Mulmaster Bonds and Backgrounds (SCAR Version)

From your hilltop home, you have looked down (literally and perhaps figuratively) on the unwashed masses of Mulmaster for your entire life. Your fur-trimmed robes and training in the visual and performing arts mark you as wealthy and perhaps well-born; you are a member of the City of Danger's aristocracy.


None of your immediate family members sits on the Council of Blades or is even a Zor or Zora… yet. Nevertheless, you are one of Mulmaster's elite, and whether you personally covet a higher standing or not, you are at home in the dance halls where the aristocracy gathers to plot, to scheme, to do business, to discuss the arts, and, above all, to see, and to be seen.


NOTE: Some backgrounds have options to choose from. Please read carefully. You may not get every proficiency listed below, as some may be a choice between one or the other.

  • Stat Options (choose either +2 in one stat and +1 in another, OR +1 in all three): Charisma, Constitution, Dexterity

  • Tool Proficiencies: One Artisan Tool of choice. (One Gaming Set or Musical Instrument of choice can be taken in place of one Standard language.)
  • Languages: Two Standard languages of choice.

  • Background Keepsake: A well-worn musical instrument you are proficient in (value under 10gp)
  • Background Gold: 10gp.
