Old-School Essentials: Gateway to Adventure - The Merchant (EN)

However, there are some merchants who see the potential value in becoming "true adventurers", that is to say dungeon delvers and wilderness explorers. Many are the treasures found in the ancient places of the world.


The Merchant presents OSE players with a new class that has roots going back to the days of the first fantasy campaign, predating the release of the worlds first role playing game! Amongst the earliest of archetypes that would become the classes that we know in fantasy role playing today, the merchant has often been overlooked. We have corrected that oversight and present a version of the merchant adventurer that is fully compatible with Old-School Essentials and other games built upon a B/X rule set! So what are you waiting for?
