Feature: Mountain Master
Your time in and under mountains has taught you how to survive when conditions take an unexpected turn. You know how to navigate rough terrain, and only the most fearsome storms can send you running home with your tail between your legs. When traveling with up to six companions, you can find always find place to rest. These might include cabins and lean-to's, rocky outcrops, empty caves, or forgotten outposts. These shelters are usually enough to survive all but the most powerful storms.
Suggested Characteristics
Few mountain climbers can resist the lure of a high mountain or deep ravine, particularly if such a place is the source of legends or is rumored to have amazing views or treasures of some kind. Some mountain climbers climb for fun and the amazing sights nobody else gets to see, while others climb to reach places others haven't in search for treasures. Whatever their motivation, mountain climbers love the thrill of difficult to reach places and climbing to the top or bottom of whatever can be climbed.
