Civilian
Description
Civilians are the true heart of civilization. It's those who work the farms, light the forges, and tend the taverns that bring life to Faerun. While heroes and adventurers serve to protect the lands from threats local and otherworldly alike, it is Civilians that grow the world around them by creating the communities that all call home. Civilians are not magic weilders or exceptional fighters, but they excel in their own ways.- Choose from one of 3 subclasses.
- Civilians thrive when working together to overcome the greatest of obstacles.
- While leaving the fighting to the professionals, Civilians are crafty and thrive as the lifeblood of the economy.
