Smith

Most smaller communities have at least one smithy where locals and travelers can have horses shod or equipment repaired. Larger settlements and cities often have a variety of smiths, many specializing in blacksmithing, weapon smithing, armor smithing, or even smelting coins in a mint.

Artisan

Source NPC Core pg. 8
Expertise is forged through years of effort and often tedious work. Artisans are masters of their craft, able to create works both practical and beautiful.

Several of the NPCs elsewhere in NPC Core can fit well in this group: Dwarf smith (level 0), forlorn artist (level 2), goblin chef (level 1), halfling head chef (level 2), tengu bladesmith (level 6)

Sidebar - Advice and Rules Don't Split The Party

All artisans should have a right to organize and negotiate with their employer over the terms and conditions of their employment. This includes their right to distribute literature, wear union symbols or crests, and discuss the union with coworkers during non-work hours in such places as tool rooms and work studios. Union organizers gain the Union Organizer adjustment.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Impending Meet-Cute Scenarios

Artisan and trades districts are the perfect place to meet new people and maybe even find love. The more different a pair of neighboring shops are, the greater the chance of interesting interactions between their patrons and proprietors. Consider a bakery directly across the street from a machinist's workshop or a florist next door to a tattoo parlor.
