You've left your ancestral home due to violence, persecution, or because of a disaster. Whether you made the journey yourself, or were brought by your family at a young age, the trek to escape took you to a new home.
Choose two of the following descriptors and talk with your Dungeon Master about what kind of place took you in when you were young;
- Overpopulated
- Lawless
- Poor
- Corrupted
- Xenophobic
- Militant
- Oligarchical
- Skill Proficiencies: Perception, Survival
- Tool Proficiencies: One of your choice.
- Languages: One of the following; Draconic, Dwarvish, Elvish, Gnomish, Halfling, or Orc.
- Equipment: A set of traveler's clothes, a Draft Horse, a worn pouch with 20 silver coins from your homeland, and a family heirloom of cultural significance.
You rarely stay in one place for too long. Maybe that safe haven turned out to be unwelcoming, or can't support such an influx of new people, or the locals aren't willing to accommodate your cultural differences. For you, and those like you, this is your life. Constantly moving, looking for that last destination to finally put permanent roots down.
Your lifestyle is considered Modest and you only need to pay half as much. People will see you as Poor, unless you improve your lifestyle. You also have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks if you and those you travel with don't have access to food while in the wilderness.
Suggested Characteristics
Without your homeland, you've had to adapt to a variety of new locales. Your family or people in general are scattered apart, only your shared culture, faith, and experiences keep you connected.
