You're the bully to bullies.  You can't stand to see people pick on the easy targets.  It's not necessarily out of a sense of justice, it just makes you sick.  You've been that scrawny kid who got picked on or the farmer who can't afford to feed his family.  So we you see someone abusing the power they hold, you can't stop yourself from intervening.

 
Skill Proficiencies: Intimidation and your choice of either Athletics or Acrobatics
Equipment: You start off with 2 healing potions and have advantage on Persuasion checks to reduce the price of healing equipment (potions, kits, etc.)
 
Feature: Persistance

All the blows you've taken from all the fights that weren't yours have given you a thick skull and the ability to take a hit.  Whenever you see a downed ally get attacked or see a non-combatant being harassed (DM's discretion.  Could include combat on a civilian or a guard intimidating a helpless old woman), you increase your max hit points by 5 points.  This lasts for up to 1 hour or until you're knocked unconscious.

This ability can be used multiple times in one day, but does not stack with itself (if this ability is already giving you an additional 5 points to your max hit points, then it does not activate again).

You also have advantage on purchasing healing equipment.  You've used a lot of it, so it's not hard to convince a store owner of your repeated business.

 
Suggested Characteristics

You get involved.  A lot.  Some see it as a character flaw, others see it as your greatest power.  In either event, you save others from being bullied, even at the detriment to your own well-being.
