Overview

Artisans learned a trade and created things with their hands. Whether they were blacksmiths, jewelers, carpenters, weavers, or any other skilled craftsperson, their career taught them patience, precision, and the satisfaction of creating something from raw materials. Choosing Artisan as your career means your character has practical skills and a trade background. Artisans are problem-solvers who understand how things work and how to fix them. Their hands-on expertise translates into practical adventuring skills that complement any heroic class.
