Describe what special benefit this background provides...

Specialization (d6)

1	Politician. Politics are a bit of a labyrinth in the city, with many holes in law built to benefit those crafty enough to find them. You are an outsider to the clan system who has learned to use these rules to your advantage.

3	Merchant. You're here to seek fortunes and exchange goods, leading a simple life among the many others who know Piltover.
4	Peacekeeper. Piltover law enforcement not only is present in Piltover, but in Zaun as well. They have the nasty job of avoiding corrupting their own values as they seek to uphold the law in a place of social inequality
5	Artisan. Creators in Piltover enjoyed celebrated statuses if their works are useful and recognized to be worthy of reproduction and sale. Many a dream has materialized from such successes.
