Features
Feature: Farmhand
When you are not adventuring you are able to provide a modest lifestyle for yourself by working on another’s farm. You might sleep in the hayloft of in a spare room. By working this way, you also ingratiate yourself to the farm owner, who gives you free food for your adventures.
