A Human Beggar in Dungeons & Dragons is typically an impoverished wanderer, an outcast, or a down-on-their-luck commoner scraping by on the fringes of society. Often found in bustling cities, forgotten alleyways, or along dusty roads, these individuals survive on the charity of others, small acts of trickery, or sheer perseverance. While beggars are commonly seen as weak or destitute, they can possess keen survival instincts, street smarts, and knowledge of the underbelly of civilization that wealthier citizens overlook.

Mechanically, a Human Beggar may be represented as a Commoner NPC from the Monster Manual with minor adjustments, or they can serve as a unique background for a player character. A player choosing this as a background might flavor it as an urchin, a former noble fallen from grace, or a wanderer with mysterious origins. They may have proficiency in skills like Stealth, Insight, or Deception, reflecting their ability to navigate the streets unseen or read people for potential generosity. Their possessions are usually meager, consisting of ragged clothing, a begging bowl, and perhaps a treasured keepsake from a past life.

In a campaign, a beggar could serve as an informant, having overheard crucial details from loose-tongued nobles or criminals who dismiss them as insignificant. Alternatively, they might be the disguised form of a powerful being, a rogue seeking redemption, or a cursed noble awaiting their chance to reclaim their title. Whether as an NPC or a player character, a Human Beggar offers rich storytelling potential, providing a lens into the darker, grittier aspects of a fantasy world while challenging the assumption that heroism is only for the privileged.
