Purple Dragon Squire

You've pledged your life to the safety of Cormyr and sought admission to that realm's order of elite warriors: the Purple Dragon Knights. But before you have the chance to join the ranks officially, you must first serve as a knight's squire. You've found a liege willing to take you on and teach you the order's ways. Will you uphold the Purple Dragon Knights' ideals of glory, honor, and strength and prove yourself worthy of knighthood?

A background lists three of your character's ability scores. Increase one by 2 and another one by 1, or increase all three by 1. None of these increases can raise a score above 20.

You gain the following benefits.

Entreat. You gain proficiency in one of the following skills: Insight, Performance, or Persuasion.

Rallying Cry. When you roll Initiative and don't have the Incapacitated condition, you can choose a number of creatures equal to your Proficiency Bonus that you can see within 30 feet of yourself. Those creatures gain Heroic Inspiration.

Once you use this benefit, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

Each background gives a character proficiency with one tool—either a specific tool or one chosen from the Artisan's Tools category.

Choose A or B: (A) Spear, Navigator's Tools, Fine Clothes, 9 GP; or (B) 50 GP
