Lawkeeper (Solasta)

 You have an instinct for spotting trouble and the force of personality to nip it in the bud. As a deputy, you learned how to spot a lie and how to discourage a troublemaker with nothing but a cold-eyed stare. And if keeping the peace and protecting the innocent required you to break a few heads, you were ready. After a while, though, dealing with petty criminals every day just wasn't enough. You took what you had learned an disembarked on a life of travel and discovery. The marches and the badlands have a whole different level of lawlessness - enough to keep you interested, you’re certain.

 

Skill Proficiencies: You have proficiency in perception and intimidation. 

Tool Proficiencies: You can choose one tool proficiency. 

Languages: You can choose one language in addition to those you gained from any other traits. 

Equipment: You have common clothes, a lawkeeper's badge from your home, and 10 gp. 

Suggested Characteristics

Lawkeepers are shaped by their service in a city watch or other law enforcement organization, and their behavior is often based on their perception of circumstances in terms of crime and punishment. Their flaws are often traits that serve them well when pursuing and capturing criminals, but are less useful in other contexts.
