The Aristocrat

Picture by me.
Characteristics: Aristocrats are usually educated, wealthy individuals who were born into high position. Aristocrats are the wealthy or politically influential people in the world. They are often natural leaders, swaying many to their side with words alone. With access to all the best goods and opportunities, many aristocrats become formidable individuals.
Religion: Aristocrat's have no particular deity.
Races: An aristocrat can be any race that has better privileged people and noble lines.
Background: Aristocrats typically come from privileged noble families.
Other classes: Aristocrats can get along with just about any class, but most of them tend not to work well with uneducated people such as barbarians.
Role: An aristocrat makes a good party face with their social skills.
Abilities: Charisma is the most important stat to an aristocrat due to the fact that it fuels their social abilities and the DC's of their spell-like abilities. Strength and Constitution are probably next most important since an aristocrat is a decent melee fighter. Dexterity doesn't matter much due to their ability to wear heavy armor.
