The bourgeoisie emerged as a historical and political phenomenon in the 11th century when the bourgs of Central and Western Europe developed into cities dedicated to commerce. This urban expansion was possible thanks to economic concentration due to the appearance of protective self-organisation into guilds. Guilds arose when individual businessmen (such as craftsmen, artisans and merchants) conflicted with their rent-seeking feudal landlords who demanded greater rents than previously agreed.
Your character gains the [[Rich]], [[Well Connected]] or [[Talented]] Feat.
If his background justifies it, he also gains the [[⭐ Faith]] Feat.
Additionally, he gains one Feat of his choice in this list :
*[[Well Connected]] (you're probably very active in a Guild)
*[[Talented]]
*[[Outlaw Wisdom]] (depends on what you sell...)
*[[Trickster]]
*[[Daring Escape]] (you have seen worse on the roads !) (even if the character isndoesn't third levelmeet the prerequisites)*[[Poison]] (what is your trade ???) (even if the character isndoesn't third levelmeet the prerequisites)*[[Guards !]] (even if the character doesn't meet the prerequisites)
*[[Venerable Age]]
This is an exception to the rule, normally a character is not able to have two archetypes.
Unless his background justifies it, the character cannot take the [[Combat]], [[FighterStrong]] or [[True Strike]] Feats.
Note that not all wealthy merchants have this feat and the character may de facto be of this profession without having it.
