Artist
You doggedly practiced artistic pursuits before taking up the adventuring life. Countless hours of practice, reflection, and expression altered the way you see the world, and demand for your artistic expression grew.
Perhaps you began an acrobat honing your body, a shadow puppeteer hungry for monstrous material, a dour thespian in search of a patron to admire your dark performances, or a bubbly singer enraptured by the applause of strangers. No matter what form your expression has taken, you still thrive where an audience waits to be entertained, frightened, or inspired.

Choose two from Acrobatics, Insight, Performance, or Persuasion.
Learn one additional language of your choice and gain proficiency with one tool representative of your artistic pursuits.
A musical instrument or tool you are proficient with, a steel mirror, a set of fine clothes, an ink pen and bottle of ink, and a coin purse containing 4 gp.
You have developed the skills and talents required to delight the masses and capture the imaginations of even nobility. Choose a talent from this list to represent your experience: Quick, Scrutinous, or Trade Skills.
Artists are risk takers at heart. Though some enjoy a quiet life of self-discovery, many are driven to seek unknown experiences with new audiences, chasing perfection of their craft. Contemplate why your character decided—or was forced—to forgo comfort and choose a path that may lead anywhere.
