The Escort (SNS)

__TOC__
The escort is an urban guide who specializes in navigating his clients through the murky political and geographical waters of a town or city. A 1st-level escort must fill two of his remaining three non weapon proficiency slots with the following proficiencies: Etiquette and Local History. 
Using Etiquette, the escort can help his charges in their dealings with all levels of society-from beggars to royalty. Additionally, he can help them negotiate with local businessmen, bureaucrats, and diplomats. 
Local History gives the escort an historical perspective of the social and political landscape. He knows the events that have shaped the local government and he can predict, with some degree of accuracy, the government's reaction to certain situations. 
Without a local escort, adventurers run the risk of committing terrible social blunders that could get them run out of town or worse. In addition, escorts can prove invaluable in many circumstances by providing the heroes with intelligence about local people and places. 
Escorts are free to choose their remaining nonweapon proficiencies from any available groups.
