Count
CITIZEN DESCRIPTION |
The middle rank of nobility within monarchies or feudal nations. Assigned several baronies and an estate of their own, collectively called a county. A count must make sure each baron fulfils their duties, and filters down the orders of those above them in the hierarchy.
Counts collect their taxes from the barons they oversee, using this income to pay their own staff and upkeep the estate. Each season they must provide reports and accounts to the duke in the duchy in which they reside.

Player Backgrounds |

Players can start as a Count or use as a background when creating an Adventurer
All player characters and non-player characters with a class are adventurers; even if they reach the level of champion, hero or legend, they can still be referred to as adventurers.
.
While players are generally free to select a citizen role as a background, they should check with the Dungeon Master to make sure it fits within the local area, other party members and does not conflict with the intended adventure.
