Cities gather a lot of different kind of people into them. Having huge workforce allows people to specialize in their chosen craft instead of trying to be jack-of-all-trades. Concentration of wealth also draws in some shady people who can easily conceal themselves into the masses and work on their 'craft'. While these city dwellers consider themselves as the most civilized people in the valley many outsiders consider city life to be absolute chaos.

 +
end up giving some manner of edge over your opponent. A lightning riposte
 +
is a parry so sudden and masterful that it leaves your opponent wide open
 +
for a come back maneuver. The mere existence of such a last minute gambit
 +
is one of the reasons dueling has become a spectacular blood sport among
 +
the nobility - it keeps the duels interesting when one move can turn around
 +
the entire flow and make underdogs sudden winners.

Concentration of wealth also draws in some shady people who can easily conceal themselves into the masses and work on their 'craft'. While these city dwellers consider themselves as the most civilized people in the valley many outsiders consider city life to be absolute chaos.

Brown noser:
Cost: 1
Some individuals are very good with their tongue and act properly in
certain situations to take advantage of other people and alter their view
of them to be more positive than it actually is. These people usually get
far in different organizations without actually having any merit to do so.
Effects: Increases your positive reputation gain. 
Cloak and dagger:
Cost: 2
Back alleys of cities see a lot of fighting happening in them. Some people
are extremely skilled in fighting in these situations. They use their
daggers and knives to utmost perfection and can harness even their clothing
as a tool of war to evade incoming attacks by blinding the attacker
momentarily with their cloak.
Effects: Increases your damage with daggers and knives and allows you to
use your cloak as a defensive weapon. 
Commanding personality:

these people command others around their orders are clear and precise,
making them easy for their underlings to execute, even if they are total
novices in warfare.
Effects: Improves and makes your army orders and gaesati roars faster. Also
helps with some sorcerer magicks.
Effect depends on the order/roar.
Devouted layman:
Cost: 2
While many city dwellers are fairly free thinking and don't really care
about religious babble of the priesthoods there are still many who are very
devouter layman members of their priesthoods. These people believe that
they are chosen by the gods and some how they seem to be able to harness
elemental mana better than others.
Effects: You gain spell damage based on your worshipped element. 
Drunken master:
Cost: 1
Usually alcohol has negative on people when fighting but certain people
have mastered the art of drunken fighting. Alcohol dulls the pain and
allows them to smash their fist into other people's face without caring
about their own safety and drunkenly wobbling around the room makes you
much harder opponent to predict. Amount of alcohol drank doesn't really
matter just as long as you have sip of the heavenly drink every now and
then. Being totally shitfaced will still have negative effect on you if you
can't even see your opponent.
Effects: Drinking alcohol increases your unarmed damage. Requires tavern
bruiser.
Escaped mental patient:
Cost: 1
Infecti psionicists started in a mental hospital somewhere in the central
areas of the valley. All of the patients escaped during a riot in which all

than many other psionicists.

Graceful sniper:
Cost: 2

single unnecessary movement while shooting their bows, making it almost
effortless for them to hail dozens of arrows at their foes.
Effects: Allows some times to shoot without any ep cost.  
Hedge knight:
Cost: 1
Hedge knights are masterless riders who offer their services as mercenary
for anyone who has enough money or seek their own future. Many of the hedge
knights are former members of Vaerlon's cavalry or templars.
Effects: Increases your melee damage while riding. 
Insider's knowledge:
Cost: 1
City dwellers aren't usually very familiar with their neighbours or are
totally strangers to each other. Business contacts on the other hand are
often more tighter than blood ties and are maintained with care. Such close
business knowledge allows these people to profit much more while selling
items.
Effects: You gain more money when selling items. 
Knight in shining armour:
Cost: 2
Vaerlon boasts two different kinds of knights. Templar knights and infantry
and cavalry of Vaerlon. Both of these groups are the shining beacon of hope
in the kingdom and many are deeply touched when they see them riding past
in their gleaming plate armour. Some of these knights are masters in
wearing and using their plate fortresses and are able to gain more
protection from them.
Effects: Medium and heavy armours improve your natural armor.
License to carry:
Cost: 1
Cities and towns frown on people who openly carry weapons. Still they
recognize the need for some weapons within the city borders. Some
outstanding individuals have been granted with a license to carry weapons
that is recognized by all the cities and villages in the valley. These
people are usually the peace keepers in their communities and viewed highly
by everyone.
Effects: Guards will not disarm you.
Lightning riposte:
Cost: 2
Civilized fencing schools pride themselves in their own dueling styles and
stances. Some of those dueling styles and stances are shared in common, not
being a secret technique. One of those techniques is referred to as
'lightning riposte'. It follows a principle that each move in melee should
end up giving some manner of edge over your opponent. A lightning riposte
is a parry so sudden and masterful that it leaves your opponent wide open
for a come back maneuver. The mere existence of such a last minute gambit
is one of the reasons dueling has become a spectacular blood sport among
the nobility - it keeps the duels interesting when one move can turn around
the entire flow and make underdogs sudden winners.
Effects: Successfully parrying hits can give you combat momentums.
Liquid bread:
Cost: 1
Beer and other alcoholic beverages are the favourite escape method from
reality for the city dwellers. This liquid bread is consumed in vast
amounts in the cities and bring joy to every working man's face after a
hard day of work and allows them to relax more

Manamorphose:
Cost: 2

do the same.
Effects: Allows you to some times finish your spells instantly. 
Militia javelineer:
Cost: 2

are specially treated weapons in there due to their huge hunting efforts
and the priesthood of Fire who brandish a burning lance as their symbols.

compared to other people, making them an extremely effective and deadly
addition to the city-state's army.
Effects: Allows you to some times throw without ep cost. 
Noble family:
Cost: 1
Nobility rules the cities and some towns and it is very hard for common
folks to gain any real power in the cities, unless they are leaders of the
military powers or very wealthy merchants. While many nobles have actually
done deeds and earned their noble surnames, many of their offspring and
other related family are nothing more than lazy slobs who take advantage of
their noble name and use it as their own.
Effects: You can take surnames without completing the requirements and
their cost is lowered. 
Pitch-fork militia:
Cost: 2
Militia is the backbone of Vaerlon's army and also for many other smaller
communities. While Vaerlon wields a massive infantry and cavalry it still
pales in comparison to the size of its militia. Practically all citizens
can be rolled into the militia when needed, using the weapons they have at
hand, which often are farming tools such as pitch-fork. This horde might
not be well-armed but they make it up in numbers.
Effects: Increases melee damage with spears, pitch forks and manure forks.

taking advantage of their oppressors. Their inspiring action against the
ruling powers make even the calmest citizen to take arms and raise against
the city guard.
Effects: Using momentums some times gives momentums to your party members.

Run'n'gun:
Cost: 2
It is fairly easy for archers and hunters to sit tight in a bush and slowly
reload and aim their bow at enemies or prey but in the middle of combat it
is totally different situation. Ranger masters have trained some very good
snipers to be extremely fast in reloading their ranged weapon to allow them
take down multiple foes rapidly in combat.
Effects: Allows you to reload your ranged weapons some times instantly and
without ep cost. Requires graceful sniper. 
Shock troops:
Cost: 2

weaponry imbued with different kind of magicks to obliterate any opposing
force in a blink of an eye. They are particularly skilled in harnessing the
infused magic in items.

and towns.

Cost: 2

Effects: Allows some times to use momentums without ep cost. 
Tavern bruiser:
Cost: 2

fights and break them when needed. Smashing drunken skulls together has
given you a certain insight into how to hurt people the most with your bare
hands.
Effects: Increases natural weapon damage. 
Unscrupulous opportunist:
Cost: 1

possible opportunies you have. You have learned through this how to use
