Servant

(Minor Favorable Trait)

In order to take this trait a character must have a Resource Value of at least 5.

A character with this trait has a Faithful servant, who is an Ordinary Person with some useful skills associated with everyday life that they provide for the character when at home or when accompanying them on trips. This is the person who runs basic errands, cleans their house, cooks, handles their drycleaning etc. They will not generally risk their life or limb for the character, is likely unskilled at anything remotely resembling combat or magic and is not necessarily on beck & call every hour of the day. They may or may not live in the character's home (this should be decided by the player).

There is some risk involved, since Faithful Servants may be killed, kidnapped, endangered or get into meddlesome problems or make unexpected mistakes that will affect the character's life. Thus there are negative features to this trait.

With GM permission this trait can be taken multiple times, but the character's Resource Value must be +1 higher than the minimum for each additional Servant they take (thus to have 5 servants they need Resources 10).

Servants may include Butlers, Valets, Chauffeurs, Personal Maids, Housekeepers, Footmen, etc.
