Taurean Image

You are a Taurean, born under the Taurus sign.  Before being drawn to adventuring, a Taurean would do something consistent and constructive, such as farming, carpenting, or even trading.  What have you built over time?  Who has come to rely on you?  You may have provided the foundation for a family or business.  At the very least, you have a desire to build towards something larger than yourself.

A Taurean could ultimately be attracted to adventuring for a variety of reasons: friends, wealth, and exploration being among them.  Work with your DM to determine what your character has shaped so far, and how adventuring contributes to that.  It should be noted that although a Taurean may very well be happy to live a life of routine, they also enjoy the finer side of being.  Thus, a Taurean could also be easily inspired to seek out a variety of circumstances and pleasures.  What ultimately matters is that your Taurus character commits to the lifestyle, as once a Taurean commits to something, there is little that can shake them.

The Immovable Object

When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, chances are that immovable object is a Taurean.  That is not to say that they are lazy, but stubborn.  Unless a Taurean decides something for themselves, they are unlikely to be convinced of much.  This can manifest in a variety of wonderful qualities: loyalty, reliability, and diligence, to name a few.

 
Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, Survival
Tool Proficiencies: Brewer's Supplies, Carpenter's Tools
Equipment: Carpenter's tools, a set of common clothes, a family heirloom, a utility knife, and a belt pouch containing 15 gp
 
Feature: Workhorse

You are exceptionally productive, approaching jobs with diligence and always earning a little extra when you work for pay.  This can manifest in a variety of ways, from extra money to a favor.

 
Suggested Characteristics

Taureans excel at being present.  They stay grounded in the moment whether relaxing or working hard.  None can be so stubborn as those born under the Taurus sign, however.  They must take care to keep their minds open to new possibilities, less they become curmudgeonly stuck in their methods and perspective.
