Barkeep
Creature 1 — human, humanoid
Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.
MenderLANDhumanhumanoid
Barkeeps are often friends and mentors within a community, lending an ear while supplying libations. The best barkeeps have some talent for storytelling and passing on valuable advice. Countless adventures begin in a tavern or a pub. Maybe it's because such places attract the risk-prone, or maybe it's because everyone needs a little liquid courage before they decide to take on a group of rampaging ogres.

Abilities
Bar Brawler — The barkeep has been in enough bar fights to know how to throw a few punches. When fighting in their bar and making a nonlethal attack, the barkeep gains a +1 circumstance bonus to attack rolls and deals an additional 1d4 damage.
Barkeep's Advice (auditory, fortune, linguistic, mental) — Frequency once per day
Effect The barkeep gives some pertinent advice to a single creature other than themself. For 24 hours, when that creature fails a skill check or saving throw, they can recall this advice and reroll the check, using the second result instead. Once that creature uses this ability, its effect ends.
A creature that receives the Barkeep's Advice is temporarily immune to the ability for 1 month.
