Fantasy Traveller - Noble

Nobles are members of the upper class of society.

Qualification: Soc 10+.  -1 DM per previous career.  If you have a Social Standing of 10 or more, you automatically qualify.  If you are trying to qualify for the Knight specialization, you may add your rank in Man-At-Arms or Templar as a positive DM to your qualification roll.

Specialties:

Courtier: You were a member of the court of a noble, or possibly a traveling diplomat.  Avoiding embarrassing yourself in court relied on tact, while advancing your station entailed understanding the web or power and knowing who to manipulate.
Survival: Int 4+.  Advancement: Soc 8+.

Knight: You were a member of the military aristocracy, leading armies on the field and distinguishing yourself in battle.  Heavily armored, your survival often depended on your strength, but achieving notable victories required a careful study of history, tactics, heraldry, and the hearts of men.
Survival: Str 6+.  Advancement: Edu 6+.

Magistrate: You served as a judge, arbiter of disputes, or tax collector.  Knowledge of the legal code was essential to keeping your position, while wisdom and discernment helped advance your station.
Survival: Edu 5+.  Advancement: Int 7+.
