Entertainer

You are a performer, either tied to a noble or one of the many travelling minstrels who attempt to find patrons where they can. You may even be a mage, if so, you would probably have been hired out by your circle to whichever noble deemed you an interesting enough curiosity.

Travelling Minstrel - Living coin to coin from the handouts of strangers is a tough life, as is travelling from place to place. It's made you hardy, and you now how useful knowledge on which roads are the safest, which are infested with bandits, and where you're most likely to be well received. Pick up to three towns or cities. You know the inn keepers there, and they know you, and will be more likely to help you out with giving you space for performances and other perks.

Artiste - You were patronised by the nobility, and now have some knowledge on how they live or operate. You were housed in fine accommodation, and if you did not already know, have learnt some of the mannerisms and customs needed to survive amongst the upper echelons. Pick up to three towns or cities. You know the nobility there, and some in their household will remember you. You will be able to enter those households more easily, and may be able to perform there again.

You can always find a place to perform, usually in an inn or tavern but possibly with a circus, at a theatre, or even in a noble's court. At such a place, you receive free lodging and food of a modest or comfortable standard (depending on the quality of the establishment), as long as you perform each night. In addition, your performance makes you something of a local figure. When strangers recognize you in a town where you have performed, they typically take a liking to you.
