Aristocrats are proficient with Padded armor, all medium and heavy armors and all shields.
Lifestyle: An aristocrat never haggles; also whenever an aristocrat makes a purchase, they must spend 50% more than normal to purchase the finest quality equipment possible. Consequently an aristocrat tends to receive better treatment by NPCs than other characters, the choicest of meats, the best wines and the cleanest rooms. Failure to buy the best equipment and services available will result in the loss of such favor and soon to follow, the belief by the common folk that you are worthy of support, and the faith of your fellow aristocrats, believing you to be boorish, oafish and pedestrian.
