World of Weedbeam: Entertainers Guild

Open to Vaudevillians

In addition to the magic schools, since the techniques entertainers use are indeed magic, Vaudevillians also get access to the Entertainers Guild.

The Entertainers Guild is the only places where you can train to learn entertainer skills. You cannot buy these performances in stores. Entertainers techniques are purchased with money, and learned with experience.

When you find the Entertainers Guild Guild building in each of the towns you may access the entertainers guild techniques available to you.

Unlike with normal magic, all techniques will be available to you in every entertainers guild building. There is likely an entertainers guild in every town, regardless of size, except maybe the most stoic of places.

Like mages and the book stores, you will come to entertainers guilds to purchase new techniques. Some techniques will require an additional "trade", to prove you are a qualified and willing entertainer. Most can simply be bought. Entertainers techniques will be listed below as they become available. Check back here often.
