-The Merchant class handles wealth, and when it comes down to it there are very few problems that aren't at least aided with the extra resources a talented Merchant can bring to the table. Why fight harder when you can just be rich?+The Merchant archetype handles Dosh, giving more options for both obtaining and using it than simply finding it in a dungeon and carting it home.

-^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Shylock:** Adventuring might be your main business, but it isn't your only one. At the beginning of every session, you gain some amount of Supply for free with no questions asked. Roll a trigger die: on a result of 1-3 you gain 1 Supply, 4-6 gives 2 Supply, 7-9 gives 3 Supply, and 10-12 gives 4 Supply. |+^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Recompense:** Adventuring is a dangerous business, so you've done the responsible thing and taken out a health insurance policy. When bad things happen to you during the course of an adventure, you have a chance to get an immediate payout in Dosh. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**First Aid Bills:** When you lose Flesh for any reason, roll a trigger die.

You must declare you are setting up these policies at the beginning of each session, and who for. You don't necessarily need to do this in-character if you'd rather that others not know about the profits you're making off their misery. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Fee:** You must pay a fee of 1 Dosh to create a temporary insurance policy for another player-controlled adventurer, and 3 Dosh to create one for a follower, hireling or other NPC.

Name the keystone you want and roll a trigger die to see how much it will cost you: a 1-4 yields a cost of 5 Supply, a 5-8 a cost of 2 Supply, and a 9-12 a mere cost of 1 Supply. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Unlocked Only:** You can only use Shop Around to purchase keystones for classes that have been unlocked in your campaign. Locked classes are unavailable for purchase. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**No Retries:** If the price is steeper than you want to pay, you're not obligated to buy the keystone you were after. You cannot try again until the next session, however: the offer you found is simply the best one on the table right now. You can freely make a different roll for a different type of keystone if desired. If you buy a keystone via Shop Around and want another of the same type, you must roll up a new random price. | +^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**STONKS:** Any base you are in has its Economy rating increased by +1, allowing you and your teammates to make use of all of its Economy-related establishments with greater efficiency. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Limits:** This bonus only applies to bases whose level is equal to or lower than your own. The bonus does not stack with multiple creatures present that know this ability. |

On a 5-8, it is available for 5 Supply, and on a 9-12 it's available for 2 Supply. |+|{{fa>caret-right?24}} ^{{fa>star?24|Alternative}} |{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**To the MOOOOON:** You can choose to increase an affected base's Economy rating even further. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Supplies:** For every +1 you wish to add to a base's Economy rating beyond the standard +1, you must spend 5 Supplies. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Short-Term:** Additional Economy created by spending Supplies disappears at the end of the current session. |
