Though you might have only recently left the traveling caravans of your people, you are no stranger to the values of cooperation and group effort when striving for adventure. You learned these principles, and much more, as a member of an Vistani tribe.
Your people have always tried to hold to the old ways. Tradition and taboo have kept theVistani strong while the rest of Bavaria to forget their values. Perhaps this is why Vistani are fond of bright, lavish colors and gaudy jewelry. Perhaps they needed a reminder of who they were and from whence they came.
- Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, Survival
- Tool Proficiencies: One type of musical instrument or artisan’s tools
- Languages: One of your choice
- Equipment: A hunting trap, a totemic token or set of tattoos marking your loyalty to Uthgar and your tribal totem, a set of traveler’s clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp
You have an excellent knowledge of not only your tribe’s territory, but also the terrain and natural resources of the rest of the Bavaria. You are familiar enough with any wilderness area that you find twice as much food and water as you normally would when you forage there.
Additionally, you speak the Vistani language (which you can manually add to your character sheet) and can call upon the hospitality of your people, and those folk allied with your tribe.
