Animated Painting Image

Deep in arcane vaults, or high in a archwizards tower, lay a treasure trove of enchanted artwork. One day a magical mishap occurred, a long forgotten curse or a sudden dragon attack, one way or another one of the animated paintings was able to step free of its canvas confines. With limited knowledge of the limitless world you now find yourself in, you are free to explore as you wish.

 
Skill Proficiencies: Being a creature of magic, you understand the forces that created you. You gain proficiency in the Arcana skill.
Tool Proficiencies: Anybody can paint somebody sitting in a chair, luckily you were painted with some action! You have proficiency with the Painter's Kit and one musical instrument or game set of your choice.
Equipment: When you escaped your painting, you took only what you could find around you. You have Painter's Supplies, as well as your choice between a Scholar's Pack, Diplomat's Pack, or Entertainer's Pack.
 
Feature: Masterpiece

You were created as a thing of beauty, now living as a being of pure gracefulness. Most people are easier to trust beautiful people. As long as you don't say or request anything majorly out of place, and you don't give reason to distrust you, many folk will be more likely to believe your words and to give aid.

 
Spell List

You are formed out of enchanted pigments, given form with magic. With the paints that created you, you can influence the world in small ways as well.

Spell Level Spells
Cantrip minor illusion

Using your Painter's Supplies gives you access to Minor Illusion. The spell works as described and you can use it freely, but its believably is based on a Performance Check. Higher rolls blend your art seamlessly into reality, lower rolls are more easily spotted by their brushstrokes.

 
Suggested Characteristics

It's a big world outside of the canvas. So many things to explore. Will you look to the world around you, or inwards to yourself and your mysterious past? After all, you were likely modeled after a real life person, who knows what they got up to.
