Basic Careers Details

Agitator Agitators are active supporters of causes. Almost any cause will do, from the rights of common Humans (or Elves, Dwarfs or Halflings)to the state of the drains. They campaign tirelessly to enlist support, addressing meeting, distributing leaflets and bending the ear ofanyone who will listen. To an Agitator, the greatest satisfaction is to see the establishment forced to act by the weight of public opinion.Some Agitators are motivated by genuine public concern, but many more have their own interests at heart the winning side in adispute will often reward its most loyal servants handsomely. Often, the cause of civilization has been seriously damaged by meddling

Agitators, although they can often be the cause of much good. The fact that there can be professional busy-bodies of this kind showshow complicated the Old World is.

Alchemists' Appr enticeThe only way to become an Alchemist is by serving an apprenticeship with an experienced Alchemist. All too frequently, however, lifeas an apprentice is all work and no learning. The apprentice is often treated as an unpaid servant, and spends too much timescrubbing floors and running errands to learn very much of the Alchemists art. Not surprisingly, therefore, few apprentices stick it outlong enough to become proficient Alchemists.

Archer Archers are infantry who specialize in the use of the bow, specifically the longbow, or the crossbow. Usually it is these men who aresome of the strongest of the rank and file as both the longbow and crossbow take a substantial amount of strength to use properly.Some generals prefer to shower their enemies with thousands of arrows or bolts with the sole purpose of either breaking the morale ofthe enemy or softening them up enough so that the rest of the army can charge in to finish them off.

BawdIn virtually any Old World town, there can be found a professional guide and escort to the seedier districts, someone familiar with thefull range of illegal and immoral establishments and services to be found there. The whole world over they are known as Bawds. Suchmen and they are usually male Humans know all the best drinking houses and gambling halls, as well as where to find brothels,drug dens, and establishments catering to all manner of other vices. They can gain access to such places for outsiders, and can berelied upon to know which are safe, which are under official scrutiny, and which make a practice of robbing and/or murdering clients.Their services are for hire to any reveler who appears suitably wealthy, although many Bawds are not above leading their new-foundcompanions into sucker-traps or gangs of cut-throats, in exchange for a share of the pickings.

BeggarBeggars are societys outcasts, desperate people with no visible means of support. They are drawn to the towns and cities of the OldWorld, for the only way they can keep themselves from starving is to beg in the streets. This is a hazardous business, since most OldWorld towns allow the town watch to beat, brand and throw vagabonds into the stocks almost as they please. The Beggar acceptsthese risks as an occupational hazard, and often becomes highly skilled in the art of extracting money from passers-by; some play onpity, while others offer blessings or threaten curses in order to fill their begging-bowls. In some of the larger cities, the Beggars haveorganized themselves into a semi-legitimate Beggars Guild, which deals with the allocation of pitches, the diverting of official attentionand the suppression of amateur or non-affiliated Beggars. In many cases the Beggars Guilds work in conjunction with the local

Thieves Guild, serving as information-gatherers and lookouts. Advance Sch emeM WS BS S T W I A Dex Ld Int Cl WP Fel

BoatmanThe Old World has many coastal settlements, and inland waterways are as important as roads for trade and communications. TheBoatman has the same role on water as the Coachman (see below) has on the roads; transporting passengers and goods from place toplace and avoiding unwelcome attentions of robbers and officials. As well as being competent boat-handlers and navigators, therefore,Boatmen need to be able to look after themselves, their passengers and their cargo, as some of the trade routes go through wild anddangerous country.

BodyguardThe Old World is a dangerous place, especially if you happen to be outspoken, unpopular, powerful or rich. Since there are plenty ofpeople who can manage there attributes, it is hardly surprising that a class of professional minders has sprung up to keep them fromharm. Merchants and Nobles almost always maintain a group of Bodyguards to protect them from those who wish them ill and to keepBeggars and other riff-raff from getting in the way. Bodyguards can vary in nature from semi-skilled heavies to members of whatamounts to a private army; the bulk of them, though are simple thugs who enjoy being aid for beating up unsuspecting citizens.

CourierCouriers have a perilous job delivering messages and packages from town to town. Speed is of the essence as they travel throughareas often plagued by outlaws and goblins. In all cases the couriers first recourse is to avoid trouble and flee, but that can not alwaysbe avoided. Many become addicted to danger and find it hard to settle down in a sedated life.

Divers are wellknown for holding their breath. They are also known to be powerful swimmers and capable of fighting underwater when attacked by seacreatures. The best Seaman will often go on the more dangerous career of Diver, with more danger often comes a greater reward. ADiver fights with no modifiers when engaged in combat in the water.

DruidThe Druid is a practicing member of the Old Faith, following a belief whose origin is lost in the mists of antiquity. The Old Faith isoutside the main religions of the Old World, but co-exists with them most of the time. Druids pursue a strict code of life, and strive tolive in harmony with nature. They long for the natural order of a bygone age, and have little patience with the modern world. Manychoose to live apart from it altogether, and all prefer the countryside to town life. Only Humans may become Druids.

Engineer (Dwarfs Only) Dwarvish Engineers are greatly sought after in nearly all parts of the old World, for they alone have the skill to create the mechanicalmarvels of the age. The Dwarven Engineers Guild is a powerful but very secretive body; its structure, rules and the bizarre andsometimes distasteful rituals it employs are founded on centuries of tradition. It has a deep distrust of innovation and invention ifanything had been worthwhile, they maintain, the Guild would have tried it centuries ago. Because of this, and because of the tightcontrol which the Guild maintains over its members, it is not unusual for imaginative and inventive young Dwarfs to leave or be expelledfrom the Guild and seek employment and patronage outside it. The technical terms for these individuals, for historical reasons, iswetbacks, although it is unwise to call them this to their faces. Wetbacks can be found working for a number of wealthy patrons in theOld World, and the Guild is increasingly worried about the steady undermining of its position and authority. Guild members andwetbacks rarely treat each other with anything but hostility.

EntertainerEntertainers make their living by providing live shows in the cities, villages and palaces of the Old World. They travel widely, either insmall bands or alone, performing wherever they think there is a chance of earning some money, or even as little as a free meal or a bedfor the night. A very few become sufficiently famous to attract the patronage of the nobility, but the rest live more or less as vagabonds,performing when and where they can before being moved on by suspicious town Watchmen.

ExcisemanExcisemen are probably the least popular citizens of the old World. No matter how benevolent the government might be, or how manygreat public works it may undertake, the fact remains that no-one likes paying taxes, and the tax collectors bear the brunt of thisresentment. Nonetheless they are a highly necessary branch of the civil service, and no government could survive long without them.However, excisemen tend to lack job satisfaction and are seldom well paid. This means that some inevitably become corrupt, whileothers go to the other extreme in the faint hope of securing promotion.

Executioner Across the Empire, magistrates travel from town to town, passing sentence on crimes that fall outside the local watch's scope. Theworst of these criminals - murderers, horse-thieves and the like - are sentenced to death. However, local officials are loath to cany outsuch tasks. The condemned are their neighbours, people they grew up with. As a result, travelling executioners are called on to do thedeed. In this way, the ill-feeling and resentment is directed at a nameless, masked figure, rather than at the Watch.Executioners live a secret life, performing a job no one else wants to do. For their own reasons they kill for money. They are loners whowander from town to town, carrying a magistrate's warrant and performing legal executions. They are expected to be able to kill in anumber of ways (beheading, hanging etc.), and are also responsible for maintaining equipment such as gallows. These are regularlysabotaged. In time, some begin to learn the laws that they serve.

Although there are few executioners, they do occasionally meet. They have a secret handshake, but most know each other by sight.These meetings usually take place when two executioners exchange an area of operation, reasoning that it is safer not to travel thesame roads too often in case they are recognised. Some belong to a loose Guild, which is administered by members of the judiciary inNuln. On joining, they are presented with a ring, which contains a hidden noose symbol.

Farmer Agricultural life is the standard way of life for most peasants. The farmer works the overlord's fields and gets scant reward for it,especially if bandits raid the villages to steal hard worked for food. Not only do the bandits raid the villages but keep an eye out forfarmers who travel to the town and city markets with their goods. Sometimes a harvest is poor, the crops become diseased, vermin eat

the supplies or cattle die due sickness, such is the life of a peasant Farmer. These, and innumerable reasons, may force a Farmer intoa life of adventure and travel. Advance Sch eme

FishermanNot everyone in the Old World is an heroic adventurer. Many of those who live in coastal areas and around lakes, make their living byfishing. Being a Fisherman is not a bad life; there is plenty to eat nearly all the time even if it is always fish. But in hard times, orwhen it is so hot that the catch goes off before it can be transported to market. Fisherman often gather around the quays and in thedockside inns, where they dream of becoming adventurers, sailors, explorers and most of all, rich. Most are content to dream, but afew actually turn to adventuring in pursuit of their ambitions.

Most will normally only seek to disable their victim through a stunning blow to the head, but there arethose known as cutthroats who actually seek to kill those they rob.

Forager (Wood Elves Only) Foragers are the main food providers in an Elven community along with the hunters. They are if anything more important because theyprovide the bulk of the food the community eats. They tend to operate in pairs, and can be ingenious in the places they find food. Theyare very much at home in the wild.

Forest Guardian (Wood Elves Only) The Elves interdependence with their forest homes puts them in a delicate position: when disease or disaster strikes an area, wholekindreds are put at risk. For this reason, there will always be Elves in each settlement who tend and care for their habitat. They roamthe woods around their homes, looking for signs of sickness, and checking for unnatural damage. Their work often takes them to thescenes of battles, where the forests have been transformed into blood-churned, rust-ridden and charred travesties of their once-verdantglory. Where such extensive work is needed, Forest Guardians from nearby kindreds will usually be called upon to travel to the sceneof the battle, and begin their own struggle to help the land grow and become fertile once more.Whilst Elves rarely meet the legendary Dryads and Treemen, such creatures will always recognise Forest Guardians as healers andservants of the forest, and will treat them with respect.

Forestrunner (Wood Elves Only) Elven communities are spread out throughout the forests. To maintain communication, every Elven outpost and community relies upona network of messengers. Spread along the border outposts and in the communities, these Forestrunners carry messages back andforth. Warnings of danger, fire, invasion, summoning healers, and all other purposes. Their roles are similar to that of the town criers inthe cities. They typically nimble young elves play an important part in keeping Elven safety and solidarity strong.

Freeman / FreewomanMinor noble families can pass their rank and wealth only to their eldest son. The rest of the sons and daughters of Knights and otherlesser nobles are called Freemen or Freewomen. Like other nobles they are exempt of most of the taxes, and enjoy the respect of thecommoners, but otherwise they will have to fend for themselves. Many Freemen become very successful as military leaders orcommerce patrons, but others are less fortunate, and turn to the life of adventuring in hopes of gaining the status reserved to theirparents.

GamblerMany Old Worlders look for easy ways to make money. Gamblers seek to use their skills to make theirs at the expense of others.Sometimes things go wrong and the gambler loses large sums of money; in these cases, a swift retreat is generally indicated, beforethe creditors discover that the gambler has no means of paying. Gamblers tend to be drifters by nature, always moving on to avoid olddebts and bad losers.

Gamekeeper / PoacherGamekeeper: Most Old Worlder landowners employ gamekeepers to look after their estates, woodlands or hunting parks.Gamekeepers look on trespassers with deep and sometimes fatal suspicion. The arch-enemy of the gamekeeper is the poacher, whoseeks to make a living by trapping or shooting animals or birds. Every gamekeeper likes to boast of his victories over these elusive anddevious opponents.Poacher: Poachers seek to make a living by trapping or shooting animals or birds on estates held by Old Worlder landowners, withouttheir permission. As such, they are the arch-enemies of the gamekeepers who look after these estates. Poachers like to brag how theyhave fooled gamekeepers.Poachers and Gamekeepers can be thought of as opposite sides of the same coin, and players with Gamekeeper characters of aNeutral, Evil or Chaotic character may choose to be Poachers instead. Gamekeepers or Poachers may take this career a second time,

taking the opposite career, following the normal procedures for changing careers. Advance Sch emeM WS BS S T W I A Dex Ld Int Cl WP Fel

Glade Guard (Wood Elves Only) It is hardly surprising that a race that places such great importance on defending its borders will have a standing guard dedicated to thetasks. What is surprising about the Wood Elves is the proportion of their populace involved in this. Almost every Wood Elf will serve asa Glade Guard at some time in their life, forming a front line against attacks and, when necessary, policing the affairs of the kindred. Asa result, the Wood Elf nation can, when pressed, mobilise almost in its entirety.Whenever the number of Glade Guards dwindles, members of the community will volunteer to take a turn, spending a year or so in astate of readiness for conflict, learning the skills and disciplines that have earned the Elven force such a keen reputation amongst theless civilised nations. It is a serious life, poorly suited to the wildness and impulsiveness of the Wood Elves; those who undertakeservice often become more reflective, more thoughtful as a result, and many life-long friendships are formed through the sense ofcamaraderie the work brings.

Any established member of the kindred will be welcomed into the Guards. In game terms, this means that the career should always betreated as a career exit for Wood Elves living in a kindred.

In Loren, the Kindred of Equos takes on this responsibility, as it gives them a perfect excuse to tend, breed and care forthe herds of Elven steeds descended from the handful that the first refugees managed to spirit away with them to the forests. On theseheaths and moors, between the scattered clumps of trees and bushes, their precious horses can graze freely.

Gong FarmerThe gong farmer has the least enviable job in the Old World. In towns and other settlements without a sewer system, the gong farmergathers up all human waste and deposits it in a communal dump or cesspool outside the walls. Often permitted to work only at night,gong farmers are also known as nightsoil men. Owing to the nature of their profession, gong farmers are able to remain calm in the faceof things that would disgust and even nauseate ordinary folk. They are also well able to resist disease and poison through longexposure to the most noxious of substances. The job is not without its compensations, but they are few and unreliable. Gong farmershave access albeit at night and well supervised to the houses of the great and good and can find themselves privy (pun intended) tohousehold secrets as well as having a unique insight into their state of health. In addition, the by-laws of many communities allow gongfarmers to keep any coins, small pieces of jewellery, or other items of value that they may find in the course of their work.

Hedge-Wizards' App renticeHedge-wizards tend to be an eccentric lot, and any child taken in by a hedge-wizard is likely to end up a little strange too. Hedge-wizards' apprentices will spend a lot of their time picking herbs at odd hours of the day and night, fetching and carrying, washing up andthe like. They will also tend to be teased, bullied or treated with suspicion by the locals. Most apprentices are taken on at about the ageof fourteen, and may spend years performing minor tasks for their master whilst slowly learning spells. Even after apprentices havegained the capability to be hedge-wizards in their own right, they will often stay with their master until the master's death, and only thentake over as the new village hedge-wizard.

HerbalistMedicine in the Old World is primitive, unreliable and expensive, so many people rely on traditional cures and medicines handed downthrough the centuries. In fact, many people distrust scientific medicine. Herbalists, on the other hand, are respected members ofsociety, although their clientele is not generally so exclusive as that of the physicians. They gather and trade in herbs, and prepareherbal remedies for all manner of ills. In rare and severe cases they will treat the patient personally. Some do misuse their powers, asthose who have been the subject of love or charm philtres know only too well, but the profession is steeped in the folk lore of the OldWorld, and most of the common people feel the herbalist is their only friend when they fall ill.

Herdsmen have a natural affinity with animals of all kinds, even though theymay have grown up tending only a few species.

High Elf Mages Apprentice (High Elves Only) High Elves are the pioneers of magic in the Warhammer world. In fact, their wizards, or mages, are unrivalled in their magical ability.The prime location of magical knowledge in the world lies in the mystical land of Ulthuan in the region of Saphery. Here, in ancienttimes, the legendary Tower of Hoeth, the shrine of the God of Wisdom, was erected. The Tower is a remarkable feat of construction,rising high above the forest. The bone-white structure is almost half a mile high, a feat of engineering made possible only by powerfulmagic. This is the location for elven mages and scholars to study from the vast multitude of books, grimoires and tomes stored in thelibraries of the Tower.In order to study magic, all aspiring High Elves will travel to the Tower of Hoeth. There they have to impress the Loremasters of Hoeth,as they have the final say in who should study magic in the Tower. Those who lust for power for power's sake are never seen againwhilst those who want to study hard to gain wisdom are rewarded, in time.

HunterHunting is one of the oldest professions in the history of the Old World. Each can follow and almost sense animal trails with uncannyprecision and is expert at the kill. The habits and habitats of wild animals are a part of their lives; they share an uncommon affinity withthe creatures of the wild and their ways. The Hunter may appear sullen and uncommunicative to his fellow men, but this is the result ofhis solitary, stealthy lifestyle. Hunters stand out from the common press of Old Worlders and are often seen wearing the skins of theanimals they have killed; in colder climates this has practical as well as symbolic value.

Jester (Gnomes Only) Jesters have been employed by most noble families in the Empire since time immemorial. In a political system where intrigue anddouble-dealing is the quickest way to the top, the 'fool' serves the dual function of relieving the pressures of command by presentinghis/her employer in a comic light and of being a trustworthy confidante - someone without political ambitions of their own. With theirpenchant for biting put-downs and off-the-cuff wit, added to their complete disinterest in the politics of the Empire, Gnomes are ideallysuited to this role. It is true that they rarely remain in the job for too long - sooner or later they either get fed up of being isolated fromtheir own kind or get carried away and have to be dismissed for insulting some visiting dignitary. Nevertheless, those Imperial noblesunable to find a Gnomic jester have often been heard to bemoan the fact that they 'don't have a Gnome to go to...'

Mostlabourers are loud, burly, brusque individuals who like nothing better than singing or whistling, climbing around insanely dangerousscaffolding, drinking prodigious amounts of herbal tea and occasionally working extremely hard. Their lives are hardly secure and theycommand a fairly low wage compared to the artisan classes, but when there is plenty of work, labourers prosper. The best jobs involvethe building of temples, fortifications, large houses and the like, because then work is guaranteed for a longer period. They are practicalmen and when they turn to adventuring, as many do in times of unemployment, they are often successful.

MarineThe Marine is a sea-fighter, a Warrior who sails with civilian or fighting ships to offer some assurance against Pirates. On fighting ships,the Marines also form press gangs, which are a source of fear in some coastal towns. Those unfortunates pressed into service can buytheir way out of the navy, but - more often - they are faced with a hard, dangerous five-year spell aboard a fighting ship. This side oftheir business has made the Marines a feared and loathed part of the seaboard community, even though they perform a dangerous andrigorous task. Many Sea Captains, faced with a captive Marine after taking a prize, have ordered the fellow thrown to the sharks; most,though, try to bribe the Marine into their own service.

MercenaryThe Mercenary fights for money, the spoils of war, and the taste of blood. All Mercenaries dream of untold riches; for most of them, thereality consists of an early death and an unmarked grave. Mercenaries roam the Old World, from one war to another - inevitablysomeone will hire their swords to settle a grievance. Rich Nobles, Merchants, and others take on Mercenaries to bring an argument to aswift conclusion; the Old World kingdoms generate enough conflict to keep many thousands of Mercenaries fully employed. Eventually,however, the wiser ones realize that there is no crock of gold for the hired fighter, and so they turn to adventuring for variety or insearch of greater rewards.

MilitiamanThroughout the Old World, armies are organized on a three-fold pattern. The Nobles provide an 'elite' volunteer force, Mercenaries arehired for professional 'muscle', and the Militiamen do all the hard work. Militias are part-time local defense forces, formed from the ruralpeasantry (only rarely are city-dwellers called up, although they may serve in the Watch, which may itself form a military body in time ofwar). All forms of local government are empowered to call up all able-bodied men and women to form the militia and the Militiamen arecommitted to spend a certain amount of time each year - usually seven days - training together on common land (this elementarytraining gives them some advantage). Militia leaders are either civil leaders or retired military types. Equipment is purchased andmaintained by the local government body and so it can vary tremendously in quality from town to town. Some militias will be equipped

almost to mercenary standards, while others may be no better off than the peasants. Advance Sch eme

MinerThe Old World countries rely heavily on the mineral resources that miners work hard to recover. Despite the sheer wealth that theymine, most miners are poor and worked hard by their overseers. In many cases, the miners are indentured workers, debt prisoners, orslaves. The conditions they work under are cramped and harsh, and the dangers are numerous. Not only is there danger from gases,cave-ins, sadistic overseers, chasms, and flooding, but from all kinds of monsters that dwell in the dark beneath the surface.It is unsurprising that those that can escape this lifestyle will resort to less dangerous careers-like adventuring!

OutlawOutlaws are people who are been driven from general society or who choose to live outside its laws. In practice, this can mean a greatmany people. Some Outlaw strongholds are quite powerful and can effectively become independent petty kingdoms. Outlaws tend toindentify themselves with the peasantry and the common folk upon whom they rely for support and protection, although there areOutlaw nobles and princes, disowned by their families and fighting guerilla war against their former homeland. Outlaws generallyconfine their attentions to the wealthy and the minions of the establishment; the fact that these are more likely to be worth robbing hasnever escaped them, although they will attack just about anyone in times of hardship. Outlaws prefer to work in forests or areas ofrough terrain, where there is plenty of cover. Their favorite tactic is the ambush and some make quite a specialty of leaping out of trees.Their rugged outdoor life makes them fairly tough, but it can be wearing on the constitution; many Outlaws have almost permanentcoughs and severe skin disorders and those who live to any age are invariably riddled with arthritis.

OutriderOutriders are experienced fighting-men, employed to reconnoitre to the front and flanks of travelling parties and armies, keeping alookout for possible attackers and other problems. Most base their skill on an intimate knowledge of the area through which they

journey. They are expected to operate more or less independently of the party or army they serve and must be able to look afterthemselves and live off the land as they go. Occasionally they undertake long-range patrols along dangerous borders or troublesomeareas, operating in the same way as a Scout and gathering information on potential hazards, troop movements, and other activity.

PedlarFew villages have shops or regular trading-posts of their own, so all are dependent on the pedlar, a smalltime tradesman. Buyingeasily-transportable goods at markets from craftsmen or merchants, pedlars travel from village to village, selling their wares andcarrying news and gossip from the towns. A pedlars wares can be anything that is easily carried, such as pots, pans, small items ofclothing, purses, pins, knives, and so on. In more settled areas, pedlars are often licensed and they may have their own guild to protecttheir interests and discourage outsiders from poaching their trade. Most live a completely nomadic life and believe strongly in thefraternity of their profession, even though they can come from many different races and have no common culture, traditions orlanguages. They are almost universally distrusted, especially by roadwardens and watchmen.

PharmacistPharmacists are specialists who prepare and supply the medicines prescribed by physicians. In many ways they are the counterpart ofthe herbalist, dealing in mineral and chemical preparations rather than herbal remedies. They have a working familiarity with a widerange of rare and exotic substances, and their properties for healing and otherwise. It is a profession which demands great skill andmost pharmacists are kept in the employ of great houses to make sure the best treatments are readily available. Unfortunately, thepharmacist is often the scape-goat when the physician fails and many have been forced to leave town in disgrace, and have eitheroffered their services to outlaws and bandits or have sought adventure in the wildest lands of the Old World.

Physicians' Student After the military and the church, the most popular career for young, relatively wealthy Old Worlders is that of physician. Anyone withtalent or just a reputation can earn great wealth through the patronage of the nobility. As with most academic careers, the only wayto become a physician is to take tuition from an established practicioner. Physicians, however, do not take apprentices as such.Instead, renowned or retired individuals sometimes teach their skills to groups of students who pay them fees. Most hospitals anduniversities in large cities have teaching facilities. It takes several years and a great deal of work to become a physician and not allstudents last the course.

PilotOne of the most important men on the seaboard is the pilot. Pilots guide large boats and ships into port through dangerous coastalareas and become the most trusted associate of all mariners. Most live onshore, normally in or near a harbour area, and work inconjunction with the harbour master and the masters of any ships coming into the harbour. Pilots are essential, because no ships crewis going to have the necessary detailed knowledge of local tides, sandbanks and hidden rocks of every port they will visit. It is the veryfact that they are so trusted that makes some fall from grace, and others become the victims of fraudsters. Many a pilot has been setup as a vessel has scuttled on the way into harbour, with the owner claiming it struck a sandbank. For these men, a new life as anadventurer is all that is left, and many others fall deeper into a life of crime.

PiratePirates plague the old world, in particular the south coast of Estalia, Tilea and the Border Princes. Unlike Seamen, Pirates not only mustcrew the ship, but each man must also act as part of its fighting component. Life on a pirate vessel is often dull, with many ships holdingthree times the needed crew.

Pit FighterIn many parts of the Old World, combat to the death is still a popular form of entertainment. The cheapest form this takes is a one-on-one brawl in an enclosed ring or pit between two condemned criminals or prisoners of war. The fights can be hard and vicious, becausePit Fighters who manage to survive for any length of time pick up a lot of weapon training and, in some cases, enough money to buytheir freedom. Also, there is a growing breed of professional Pit Fighters, men who do the job for the money and the sport, who are not

just convicts. The sport attracts large audiences and much money changes hands through betting. Those few hardy souls who survivelong enough to buy their way out nearly always end up as Outlaws, Bounty Hunters, or adventurers, where their formidable fightingskills and fearlessness makes them indispensible.

ProspectorFar from the normal trade routes, towns and farms, prospectors can be found sifting through the silt of river and stream beds in searchof gold washed down from the mountains. Most deposits in populated areas are already exhausted, so prospectors spend most of theirtime in remote and dangerous mountain and badlands areas. Their one hope is to find a large vein and to claim it or to work it beforeothers find out, but few manage to resist bragging about their find, even when they do finally strike it rich. Word spreads quickly whengold is discovered and prospectors shanty towns spring up almost overnight, only to be abandoned just as quickly once the area isworked out. The lure of gold is one of the few things that can draw a dwarf above ground, and dwarven prospectors are not anuncommon sight in gold rush areas.

ProstituteThe oldest profession in the world, some say, the prostitute is a person, male or female, selling sexual favors to other people. Often inthe hands of a Pimp (treat as Bawd) who functions as a sort of manager. Unfortunately, many young boys and girls end up Prostituteswhen coming to the big city searching for fame and glory. Many are ill-treated, often beat up by customers and protectors and alwaysbadly paid. The lucky ones might get to work in a brothel, where they are relatively safe and well treated.

ProtagonistProtagonists live by their combat skills, and enjoy picking fights for people in return for small sums - even the price of a drink. In manycases they are hired to provide a beating or other damaging lesson, while hiding the fact that there is someone in the background whoprofits from or enjoys the results. Roughing up a couple of locals is cheap, while the more able opponents and more extensive injuriesare proportionally more expensive. A murder may earn the Protagonist enough to live on for a couple of months. When no employer isforthcoming, they generally wander from place to place, challenging those who they meet and robbing their victims. Needless to say,local law enforcement officials do not take kindly to Protagonists, and an error in sizing up potential opponents can be fatal.

RaconteurRaconteurs love to talk. For hours on end, they pontificate, rant and hurl abuse at anyone who will listen. And, strangely though it mayseem, people do stop to listen. For one thing, raconteurs are good at what they do; no matter what they say or what they are talkingabout, they always manage to be interesting, amusing or captivating. Like actors, they are masters of speech and can convince theirlisteners of just about anything. Whether standing on a box in the town square or recounting risqu anecdotes over the brandy andcigars at a society dinner, raconteurs voices are the tools of their trade. Understandably, in a world where few can read and gossip isrife, anyone who can command the attention of others through the spoken word will make name for themselves. The only risk involvedis that most raconteurs find themselves accompanying great armies or bands of adventurers, just so they can witness magnificentevents as the source of their next epic tale. The smarter ones tend just to make them up.

Rat CatcherThe Rat Catcher is a common sight everywhere in villages, towns, and cities, making a living by disposing of the vermin which infestsall dwellings in this unsanitary age. Rat Catchers are often travelling folk, although in a large town or city settled 'vermin soldiers' mayactually be employed by the authorities. Rats are their chief enemy, but a Rat Catcher will also be able to deal with moles, mice, andsimilar pests. It isn't a great life and many soon retire from the cellars and seek adventure in the clear air of the country... where theybecome favoured scouts among adventurers who poke around in caves and dungeons.

Riverwarden A clarion call across the murky waters of the Reik can only mean one thing: Riverwardens. These strong-backed lawmen are commonlyperceived by river goers as little better than thugs, as they must harass even innocent vessels when checking for smuggled goods andhave learned that politeness and trust do not pay off. The over-worked patrols, which toil through month-long shifts at a time, areresponsible for waters too large to be effectively controlled.They spend most of their time concentrating on the worst law-breakers, including pirates, murderers, and barge thieves, and allow mostpetty misdemeanours to slip by with spot-fines.They are a common sight on the rivers, and their patrols extend as far as Kislev.

RoadwardenThe roads of the Old World are narrow and treacherous; many are little more than tracks. The few decent roads have toll gates andcharge travellers a fee. Also, needless to say, the roads are rarely safe, with bandits and the like menacing travellers and Goblin bandsdigging pits and laying traps for coaches and riders. Because of these threats, many civic bodies employ professional marshals calledRoadwardens who patrol the roads, dealing with or reporting problems as they are found. It's an enormous task. In theory, the tolls payfor the upkeep of the roads, but this is not always the case and the safety and honesty of the Toll-Keepers has to be checked upon.Skilled Roadwardens can find themselves leading militia after bandits or goblinoid warbands. Roadwardens will also occasionally ride

with wagons or coaches with important cargo or passengers to bring their swordarm to the assistance of Coachmen and drivers.Because of who they are, Roadwardens get to hear of all kinds of treasures and adventures from captured bandits and Outlaws andsometimes the temptation proves too great and they set off as adven
