Background Features

By Popular Demand

You can always find a place to perform in any place that features combat for entertainment-perhaps a gladiatorial arena or secret pit fighting club. At such a place, you receive free lodging and food of a modest or comfortable standard (depending on the quality of the establishment), as long as you perform each night. In addition, your performance makes you something of a local figure. When strangers recognize you in a town where you have performed, they typically take a liking to you.

Entertainer Routines

This kind of flashy combat is your entertainer routine, though you might also have some skills as a tumbler or actor. Choose one to three routines to define your expertise as an entertainer.
