Game Design
A character class for D&D 5.5. The class focuses on playing as an older character with the ability to influence both friend and foe alike. Using Hit Dice as a way to represent inner resolve, players can haggle for better deals, deal physic damage with a disproving look, and barter with death itself out of sheer stubbornness.It includes abilities up to level 20 and four unique sub-classes including the Caregiver, Scuttlebutt, Book Carrier, and Critter Keeper. You may not be as physically strong as you were in your youth, but you are still a force to be reckoned with!
