Whether far removed from the comforts of society or merely a pariah, you have done (or something has happened to you) that has earned you, disdain, distrust, hate, shunning and/or even exile from others. You have few to no contacts with the various stratas of society, legitimate or no. Attempts to connect with these are seldom successful, and possibly dangerous, impeded by the initial reason of your status.
Such a lifestyle is lonely and difficult, the skills you develop reflect how you navigate the challenges that arise from imposed isolation. You're adept at getting by with little, and understand the importance of self-reliance.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose 2 from Deception, Intimidation, Stealth, or Survival
- Tool Proficiencies: Your choice of a gaming set or musical instrument, one type of artisan's tools
- Equipment: A set of artisan's tools you are proficient with, a keepsake from before you became outcast, a set of traveller's clothes, and a belt pouch with 5 silver.
Whether from an obvious visual or stories attached to you, people avoid you if they can. You're mere presence in the area will discourage the average person from approaching.

Some outcasts are well suited to a life of seclusion, whereas others chafe against it and long for company. Whether they embrace solitude or long to escape it, the solitary life shapes their attitudes and ideals. A few are driven slightly mad by their years apart from society.
