Trade

Trade is the cornerstone of economic savvy and financial success. This skill reflects a character’s ability to negotiate favorable deals, assess the value of goods, and maximize their profit from both commerce and craftsmanship. Each rank in Trade reduces the prices characters pay when purchasing from vendors, representing their knack for haggling and identifying fair deals—or persuading merchants to offer discounts. Additionally, Trade enhances a character’s earning potential during Downtime, increasing the monetary rewards gained from crafting, performing services, or selling goods. Whether bartering for rare items, brokering deals between factions, or running a profitable business, the Trade skill empowers adventurers to thrive economically in a world full of opportunities.

Trade is an invaluable skill for characters who want to take full advantage of their resources and ensure their party stays well-equipped for the challenges ahead. It fosters roleplay opportunities, as skilled traders often become the party’s spokesperson in markets, bazaars, and trade hubs, navigating the complexities of commerce with charm and wit. Beyond personal gain, the Trade skill can also have a broader impact on the game world, allowing characters to forge alliances with influential merchants, manipulate local economies, or even build their own trading empires. In The Land, where wealth often translates to power, those who master the art of Trade hold the keys to success, unlocking resources and opportunities that others can only dream of.
