Why did you take the life of an almsgiver and charity worker? Did you come from a religious background? Were you once rich yourself? Did your compassion for all creatures offer you no alternative, but to become part of an altruist organization which could reach across the borders of neighboring communities and kingdoms? Discuss with your DM to determine the reason for your charity work, or you can roll on the table below to determine how your altruism manifested itself.

When you cook a meal, you may use herbs, meat off-cuts and other daily gathered ingredients to increase the number of portions of food you can prepare to double. Thus you are able to provide sustenance for twice the number of people as you have cooked food portions for.

Almsgivers are naturally empathic towards those in need. They feel the pain of others intimately, so much so that they can go to great lengths to alleviate it. They very often have a gathering of like-minded comrades or cohorts who they readily turn to for help. They are also very well respected, or even loved in certain towns, groups or factions. In their never-ending desire to unburden the suffering of others, not every almsgiver remains on the side of the law though; using their knowledge, connections and friends to help steal from the most fortunate in society, to give to the poor. However, one thing is for certain, almsgivers have a higher sense of purpose than most, with many of them finding solace in religion.
