Throughout Toivoa, there are pockets of people that seem to live to the beat of their own extended drum jam. They accept all and love all. In return they just want to be accepted and loved. They are hippies.
Hippies can be found anywhere and with any species. Being a hippie is not really something one trains for, it is something one decides to be. Hippies can be found in cities, on the roads, or in the country. Usually hippies makeup for a lack of material wealth with bountiful music, dancing, illicit substances, and good vibes.
- Skill Proficiencies: Performance, Nature
- Tool Proficiencies: Hippy Tools
- Languages: Any one of your choice
- Equipment: One set of travelers clothes, any one musical instrument or gaming set which you are proficient with, a set of hippy tools, crystal and leather jewelry worth 10gp, and a pouch containing 5gp.
Hippies are renowned (derided?) for their ingenuity and creativity in solving problems. From fixing a chimney, to making a drum kit, to cooking dinner for more people than expected, hippies always solve the problem in front of them. The solution is rarely elegant, enduring, or professionally approved. But it gets the job done for what is needed.
Once a day a hippy can choose to succeed on any ability check that is not opposed (example: no combat opposed grapple checks) - it cannot be opposed as hippies require good vibes to keep going. A Hippy Toolkit must be used on this check. The success is a minimal success and most likely not permanent. However everyone will be satisfied with the result.
Examples of a minimal result:
- a paint job that has all the colors but painted over bugs, flaws in the wood, etc.
- A wagon wheel that was reattached with leather and a bandana. Once the wagon gets to the destination the fix fails.
- A musical performance that gets people dancing, but is out of tune and varying tempo
- Food that satisfies but makes a couple of people sick for a day
