Nocturnal

From either paranoia, insomnia, or something else, you've become nocturnal. This way of living doesn't effect you much, but you have to rest during the day. If you miss a day you will be forced to sleep the night (where you'll lose your perception increase for the following day), or faint and remain unconsciousness (no matter what) for the time of a long rest. Spells cannot wake you up.

You can go through the entirety of night without being tired. Multiple scattered short rests or one long rest during the day will work against unconsciousness.

Skill Proficiencies: Proficiency with anything when done at night.

Proficiency with perception and stealth.

You choose one other skill proficiency.

 

Tool Proficiencies: You're proficient with hands-on tool sets.

(Ex: Carpenter, Woodcarver, Smith's, etc.)

Because of your stealth increase, Thieves' Tools are another choice.

Languages: You have the choice of two "dark" or "uncommon" languages.
