Many Friars in this tumultus time have learned some martial skill to fend off robbers on the road. While the church has forbidden the holy men from using weapons with blades some persist in employing them.
Friar's are typically jolly, happy individuals who see God waiting to bless in all things. All friars are sworn to poverty, but few actually follow this tenent.Recommended Skills: Fighting, Crafting, Healing, Knowledge (Theology), Persuasion

PEASANT
The peasants are the common folk living in the country side, trying to eke out a living while paying the Sheriff's high tax. The Peasant concept is almost always combined with another concept (bowman, footpad, strongman, soldier, etc) and is used to flesh out the character's background and history. Peasants come in all stripes and professions and often have commitments and dependents at home.
