Shepherd (Cleric) Image

You've been under the tutelage of the aging cleric of your clan or small village since you can remember.  Now, you've been sent out into the world on a pilgrimage, to gain a fuller understanding of your deity, and to gain knowledge in healing people.  Very naïve, since you've never been away from your home before, you hope to gain ability in taking care of people, in hopes that, when the cleric of your people finally passes on, you will be ready to become the healer of your people, and the spiritual leader who will act as the voice of your people's deity.  

 
Skill Proficiencies: Medicine, Persuasion and Nature
Tool Proficiencies: Herbalism kit or alchemical kit.
Languages: Choose any language, in addition to common
Equipment: A holy symbol of your order, a money pouch containing 10g, and either a Herbalism Kit or an Alchemy kit
 
Feature: Hope of My People

Your people are counting on you to gain the experience and wisdom that you'll need to assume the position for which you've spent your entire life until now training for.  You are a natural leader, in spite of the shyness you might feel within you.  You have skills in leading others, and it is these skills that you are working on because you know how important they will be when you return home.

You also have a desire to learn as much as you can in the way of healing.  You keep a journal, in which you write all manner of notes, such as gathering, storing and using various herbs for healing, or techniques that you find helpful in healing others.  While you have this journal in your possession,  you gain an advantage on all nature checks that involve gathering and storing herbs found in the wild.

 
Suggested Characteristics

Though you have little practical experience, you have devoted a every day of your life to learning how to heal.   You are devoted to your deity, and will one day become the spiritual leader of your people.  You may be a little too optimistic in your approach to representing your deity, but you will be there to heal in your deity's name no matter what.  Though you are completely untrained in defending yourself or any type of combat, you are willing to learn whatever you need to in order to take care of those who you have pledged to serve.

d6 Personality Trait
1 I'm shy because of my inexperience in the world, as well as in my profession.
2 I am sure of my capabilities as a healer, even if other people are not as certain about my skills.
3 Though I'm unsure when it comes to new people, I have a fascination with how the body works, even if that makes others squeemish.
