Barter

Skill, Background

Fair trades; a WILL save gives about 10% profit. 100 XP.

From the book

A character with Barter can trade goods of any kind and can always count on a fair return. With a successful save vs WILL the character comes out 10% ahead on the exchange, unless the other side is also skilled at bartering.

Bartering is how most tribes and clans, the Erians among them, do business, since they use no coins. Barbarians and villagers can pick it as a background skill; learning it later costs 100 XP.
