Sage (Druid) Image

Nature calls you, and your heart listens closely to what is has to say.  You have spent your entire life in service, though not to any deity or lord, but to a cause.  From before you can even remember, you have lived for one purpose, to stand for the natural world and to oppose the incursion of civilization upon the natural world.  The creatures of the world, the innocence of the beasts, and the delicate ecological balance that sustains plant and animal life . . these are the things that have always captivated your attention.

Changes to Your Body

Living so long in the wild,  your body has gone through changes that set you apart from those who would live in the cities.  Though others find these changes disconcerting, you have grown so used to them that you forget they are there.

d6 Changes to Your Body
1 Since you were an older adelesent, you began to grow antlers/horns. (1-pronghorn, 2-deer, 3-goat, 4-ram, 5-rhino, 6-cow). You can deal 1d4 damage if you use them in an attack.
2 Since your adolesence, your ears began to change and your ears are now those of an animal. (1-wolf, 2-goat, 3-rabbit, 4-deer)
3 Since you were an older adelesent, you began to grow a tail, and now it is impossible to hide from anyone. (1-wolf, 2-monkey, 3-tiger, 4-rabbit, 5-cow, 6- goat)
4 You have grown deadly claws from the back of your hands. With these, you can add 1d4 slicing damage to your unarmed attacks.
5 Small, extremely colorful flowers are always growing on short, ivy vines in your hair. Even when you pull them all, they are there the next morning.
6 Your eyes have changed to look like those of a large cat. This gives, or adds, 10' of darksight to your vision.
 
Feature: Natralist

You know the delicate balance between civilization and the natural world.  When traveling in the country, you take extra notice of the land and plants around you, and have an advantage against being surprised by any nature-based attack.  You also find it easiest to get comfy and find food from the land to help you survive and have advantage against these types of skill checks.  You can forage enough food and water to sustain yourself and up to 5 others provided you aren't on barren land.   Finding natural shelter in the wilds also comes easy to you.
