For a long long time, you've been trapped in stone. Petrified by someone or something and preserved for many years. But one day, you were finally freed from your stone prison and discovered how much the world has changed. Was it better before you were trapped in that prison of stone? Or does this new world amaze you with new advancements and knowledge? How long have you been petrified? What trapped you there in the first place and why did it trap you? Your journey may yet reveal these secrets.
- Skill Proficiencies: History, Survival
- Tool Proficiencies: None
- Languages: Two of your choice
- Equipment: Your old worn clothes, something from your time (a bottle of wine, an old book, a piece of art, etc.), something to commemorate when you were freed (a chip of stone, the scroll or wand that freed you, etc.), and 10 gp.
You know of information from your time that has become more obscure to the common person. This information might be the name of someone important, the location of a former city, or a legend or tale that died out while you were petrified. It is up to your DM whether or not this information is useful to your goals.
Suggested Characteristics
People who are freed from petrification hardly are the same afterwards. They tend to either miss the comforts of home or may be overwhelmed by the fascinating new world they live in. In addition, their stony prison often hardens them and leaves them a colder or stronger person.
