Dandy

You aren’t a follower of fashion – you lead from the front. In your home city people stop, stare and admire. How daring! How stylish! How fabulous! Nobles and social climbers look to you for the latest trends. The clothes, the make-up, the newest words and the latest insults: You know what’s ‘in’ and ‘out’.
Skill Proficiencies: Investigation and Persuasion (alternatively Deception)
Tool Proficiencies: Disguise Kit, Leather workers tools
Languages: None
Equipment: 3 sets of fine clothes, a vial of perfume, Costume jewellery worth 25gp, a fine purse with 5gp and a set of gaming pieces.

Feature: Invites to all the best parties

All is not always as it seems. It has taken a great deal of effort to reach your position.
