What kind of class features would a Merchant have?

Well I guess things around haggling? Depending on what edition you are talking about they could also gain a business empire as they level the same way the meatshields got castles and such.

Damn, came to post this.

Seriously though, in DND? Not gonna work.

Interesting, your profession as your class. Makes me think of wizards punching a clock and fighters making house calls to take out giant rats in the basement, and expecting tips.

You shouldn't have a merchant class. Why would you let the PCs be merchants?

This.

The dungeon master represents The Merchant.

Oy vey!
+5 resistance to Jedi mind tricks

It could easily be made in newer editions of D&D by making it a Warlock with a pact for a being that really likes wealth but thinks it's too good for theft or other underhanded tactics (Its definition of underhanded probably not including ruthless business tactics, but hey). Money goes in, goods and/or services come out, warlock gets a steadier drip of magical power.
