# Polandskia Urbanite **Description:** You live and work in what remains of the population of cities that used to house tens, if not hundreds of millions, up to even billions of people. Now house perhaps a few million in some small but necessary core. The city survives on trade from pirates for supplies in exchange for goods produced there. There isn't time for Church; the city is _always_ in crisis. **Nationality:** [[Polandskia Peoples Union]] **Injury Payments:** 0% **Term Length**:: 5 --- ## Progress | Roll | 5 Entry Requirements | 9 Survival | 11 Advance | | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | 2D6 + Attr Mod | [[Charisma]] 7+, OR [[Intelligence]] or [[Education]] 9+ | [[Charisma]] 5+, OR [[Intelligence]] or [[Education]] 7+ | [[Charisma]] 9+, OR [[Intelligence]] or [[Education]] 11+ | ### Subfields Choose one of the following subfields to be your specialization within this career. This is what you are doing, and determines which skill table you use for steps 7 & 8 as well as Subfield Skill Check's. _Trader_: You handle the necessary daily trade deals needed to keep the city operational. You get people what they need. When ships come dropping off supplies, you have the connections to sell what they need, and to get what your customers are looking for.. _Worker_: You produce the goods necessary to keep the city alive. Whether it be finished construction goods, beds, tools, simple electronics, clothing, or any sort of other thing. The point is, the villages who can provide the raw resources you need to make stuff, need the things you make to get those resources. Some of those resources your city needs to stay alive! _Street-Rat_: You fulfil the necessary but oft-looked-down upon role of facilitating intra-city trade. You get people the things they want, without them asking any questions as to how you got it. You know the things they don't want you to know, and who to pay off to know those things. People come to Street Rats to get the things Traders are having a hard time getting their hands on. ### 7 8 Subfield Skill Table | 1D6 | _Trader_ | _Worker_ | _Street-Rat_ | | --- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------- | ------------------------------ | | 1 | [[Charm]] | [[Steward]] | [[Bribery]] | | 2 | [[Persuade]] | [[Computers]] | [[Steal]] | | 3 | [[Human Perception]] | [[Examine]] | [[Stealth]] | | 4 | [[Appraise]] or [[Business]] | [[Accountant]] or [[Law]] | [[Hide and Conceal]] | | 5 | [[Bribery]] | [[Research]] | [[Forge]] | | 6 | [[Bargain and Commerce]] | [[Admin]] | [[Deception]] or [[Knowledge]] | #### Career Ranks | Lvl | _Trader_ | _Worker_ | _Street-Rat_ | Rewards | | --- | ------------------- | ------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------- | | 1 | | | | [[Streetwise]] +2 | | 2 | Trader | Worker | Rat | [[Language]] (Germushian) +2 | | 3 | Reputable Trader | Reputable Worker | Solid Rat | [[Bribery]] +2 | | 4 | Respectable Trader | Respectable Worker | Trustworthy Rat | [[Charm]] +2 | | 5 | Praiseworthy Trader | Praiseworthy Worker | Praiseworthy Rat | [[Steward]] +2 | | 6 | Master of Trade | Master of Work | King of the Rats | [[Social Standing]] +1 | #### 14 Muster Out Benefits | 1D6 | Benefit | | --- | ---------------------------- | | 1 | International Trader Contact | | 2 | Armour | | 3 | Religious Contact | | 4 | 5K | | 5 | Warlord Contact | | 6 | Weapon | ### 10.1 Events Table | 2D6 | Event | | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 2 | Moving Up In Life - Make an [[Easy]] Subfield Skill roll, if you pass, increase the used skill by 1, automatically move up a rank, and add +1 to your next advancement roll.
