- Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Perception (from Far Traveler)
- Tool Proficiencies: Disguise Kit (from Entertainer (Gladiator variant))

Feature: By Popular Demand
You can always find a place to perform, usually in an inn or tavern but possibly with a circus, at a theater, or even in a noble’s court. At such a place, you receive free lodging and food of a modest or comfortable standard (depending on the quality of the establishment), as long as you perform each night. In addition, your performance makes you something of a local figure. When strangers recognize you in a town where you have performed, they typically take a liking to you. (From Entertainer (Gladiator variant).)
