Mendicant character class archetype

The mendicant is a wandering priest who embraces extreme asceticism to increase their connection to the divine. They keep only what they can carry and live as modestly as possible – often as beggars or wretches dependent on alms. This hard life forges hardy characters who are preternaturally tough and adept at mundane, earthly skills.
