You were adopted by a Nemani family and raised in their ways. As a result, you know much of the history and society of these outcast dragonfolk, and even have your very own Nemani Mask, and an appreciation for the gods and culture of the Nemani. You consider yourself as one of them, even though you are technically not.
- Skill Proficiencies: You gain proficiency in Intimidation. You also gain proficiency in your choice of History, Religion, or Survival.
- Languages: You can speak, read, and write Nemani.
Feature: Was that Supposed to scare me?
Due to being raised by Nemani, not much can actually scare you. You’ve seen the true faces of Nemani all your life, and you’ve learned that what most people find scary is usually misunderstood. And even that which is rightfully feared can still be defeated in many cases. As a result of your upbringing, you have advantage against intimidation checks and magical effects that would give you the frightened condition.
