Hello mates, I'm presently stating a quick level 3 aristocrat character, and hit a roadblock, so I hopped someone may give me a hand.
Ollick is a proper old lord of 49. While his elder brother has managed to grapple with kingdoms, he himself has accomplished little, ever floundering in that shadow. Recently however his brother has fallen utterly mad, and Ollick sees his opportunity. Setting out with a crate of gold and his two faced nature, Ollick seeks to not only make himself a base of power and bring his own name to the height of legend, but to dwarf even the achievements of his brother. Ollick himself is otherwise a rather unremarkable man however, and there is where I find my problem. I'm too stuck in the rut of giving even the most unremarkable of characters something extraordinary to make them both catch and hold the attention of those about them. Ollick however has none of that, only the might of gold and his own nature. (No, I don't even intend to op social skills, which may well make bribes his mightiest weapon.)
In any case, anyone know some nice nobility themed feats that don't do much mechanically? Perhaps some nobility themed mundane items to complement what the PHB has to offer?
