Proctor

You are one who acts on the behalf of another, a procurator. As a proctor, you take charge of the affairs of others and act for them. Your services are present throughout a lot of society. In law, you are similar to lawyers, and a rather high class of them at that. You also play a religious role for clergies, representing them in courts of church law. You also proctor education processes, overseeing tests and exams in lieu of higher officials. As much as you are like a lawyer in many aspects, you are a more specialized form than the usual advocate. Proctors have the power to enact disciplinary action unlike how lawyers can only hash out the rules.

As much as you are like a lawyer in many aspects, you are a more specialized form than the usual advocate. Proctors have the power to enact disciplinary action unlike how lawyers can only hash out the rules. When making a proctor character, consider the following questions: What kind of proctor are you? How high up in the social strata does that make you? Are you a strict or loose proctor? Do you take bribes to misrepresent your case, or are you dedicated to your job as an accurate proxy? Do you act on your own wants or for the good of your retainer? Are you on the road maybe on behalf of a client, or maybe because a higher up sends you out to oversee something outside the usual kingdom limits? Skill Proficiencies: Insight and Persuasion Language Proficiencies: One language of your choice Equipment: A set of fine clothes in the form of a uniform, a personal document seal, a ream of stationary, an inkwell and quills, and a pouch containing 15gp
