I built a trader/translator character for a fantasy game once back in 3e, with a high Merchant skill and some related traits; essentially a professional caravan organizer, with some basic combat & stealth skills for backup. This ended up not meshing well with the rest of the party, though, so I mostly ended up using those backup skills (& the language skills for spying on people), and rarely bought, sold, or negotiated anything. I think it would have been an effective character otherwise, was just the wrong one for that game.
