# Farmer
> You grew up close to the land. Years tending animals and cultivating the earth rewarded you with patients and good health. You have a keen appreciation for nature's bounty alongside a healthy respect for nature's wrath.
**Feature — Cultivate Growth:**
With a day of uninterrupted work, you can restore a small plot of barren land to fertile soil or revive a dying plant. Additionally, other farmers, innkeepers, and rural folk recognize your skills and are more likely to offer fair prices or trade goods (e.g., food, seeds, tools) at a discount.

| d6 | [[Bonds]] |
| --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1 | I inherited the land or worked it for generations, and its survival is tied to my honor. |
| 2 | I’ve spent years with a loyal horse, ox, or mule, and its well-being is a priority. |
| 3 | Someone in my community always seems to outdo me, and I'm determined to prove myself. |
| 4 | Druids taught me about the land’s secrets, and I owe them a debt of gratitude. |
| 5 | The year I reaped my first successful crop was the proudest of my life, and I’ll never forget it. |
| 6 | My childhood friend and I grew up together, and though life has pulled us apart, their memory keeps you going. |
| d6 | [[Flaws]] |
| --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1 | I’ve seen enough unexplained phenomena in nature to be skeptical of sorcery and arcane arts. |
| 2 | I assume most people are honest, hardworking folk like myself, and I'm often disappointed. |
| 3 | If someone wrongs me or my land, I remember it for years—even decades. |
| 4 | Once I’ve made up your mind, it’s nearly impossible to change it. |
| 5 | I struggle to relax or delegate, convinced that if I don’t do it myself, it won’t be done right. |
| 6 | I avoid walking under ladders, whistling at night, or other “bad omens,” even if I don’t fully believe in them. |
| d6 | [[Ideals]] |
| --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1 | **Stewardship.**<br>The land provides for those who care for it. I will nurture the earth so it can nurture others. (Good) |
| 2 | **Survival.**<br>In a harsh world, only the strong endure. I must be prepared for anything. (Neutral) |
| 3 | **Community.**<br>No one thrives alone. I owe my success to the help of my family, neighbors, and village. (Lawful) |
| 4 | **Independence.** <br>I answer to no one but myself. My labor is my own, and my choices are mine alone. (Chaotic) |
| 5 | **Balance.**<br>Nature must be kept in harmony. Overuse or neglect leads to ruin. (Neutral) |
| 6 | **Profit.**<br>A farmer’s work is never done, and every bushel counts. I will make the most of my labor. (Evil) |
| d8 | [[Personality Traits]] |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1 | I trust hard evidence over words and always look for the practical truth in any situation. |
| 2 | I see setbacks as opportunities to learn and adapt. |
| 3 | I’ve spent so much time around livestock that I’ve picked up their behaviors and sometimes mimic them unconsciously. |
| 4 | I'm an early riser and believe discipline starts with the sunrise. |
| 5 | Whether planting, harvesting, or mending fences, I find rhythm in labor and often work better with music or a steady hum. |
| 6 | I hoard supplies, tools, and even food scraps, convinced they’ll be useful someday. |
| 7 | I respect nature’s power and never take its gifts for granted. |
| 8 | I’d rather fix it than replace it—I like to fix broken tools or clothing instead of discarding them. |
