Auril is the Huntress of the Wilds, following her own set of rules. Your focus is to eradicate aberrant creatures and monstrosities, but also to root out corruption in the communities of the world. Smaller settlements appreciate your efforts in killing creatures that create problems for them, but the larger cities generally won't appreciate your presence, as your desire to root out corruption could interrupt the status-quo they have created in the city.
As a member of an adventuring party, you might find it more difficult to pursue a personal agenda that doesn’t fit with the group’s objectives — but on the other hand, you can take down much more formidable targets with the help of your companions.
- Skill Proficiencies: You gain proficiency in Survival and Intimidation.
- Tool Proficiencies: Choose two from among one type of gaming set, one musical instrument, and thieves’ tools
- Equipment: A set of clothes appropriate to your duties and a pouch containing 20 gp
You have honed your skills in hunting aberrant creatures and monstrosities, gaining expertise when something you're chasing is from the Aberrations or Monstrosities creature type.
