Entertainer
Dwarves enjoy entertainment during leisure hours, although other races are surprised
there are dwarves whose trade is to entertain. There are dancers, singers, jugglers and
tumblers, musicians, tightrope walkers, and fire eaters. They rarely tell jokes.
To be an Entertainer, a character has to have a minimum Dexterity of 14.
Role: Like most dwarf trades, Entertainers are governed by a guild. They are trained from an early age and are very adept at what they do.
Humans and elves often find the sight of dwarf Entertainers gamboling around a stage
hilariously funny, much to the annoyance of the Entertainers and dwarves in the
audience. The performance of an Entertainer is meant to display the physical prowess of
the dwarves in an edifying manner. They are certainly not meant to be laughed at!

browns or slate grays. They can easily be identified by their equipment, which they take
everywhere.
