Prerequisite: Warforged Race
Once created by a long since forgotten person, group, or culture, you alone are what is left behind to guard what your creator wanted to keep safe. Decades, centuries, or even millennia have past since your creation; but still you kept guard in complete isolation.
- Skill Proficiencies: You gain proficiency in the Survival Skill, plus a Skill from your Post.
- Languages: Choose 1 language of your choice.
The environment where you were keeping watch all those years determines your second Skill:
Arctic: Investigation

Through years of constant vigilance, you have advantage on Skill Checks using your Post Skill.
Suggested Characteristics
Who created you and what were they having you guard? Was it Treasure? Research? Information? An Ancient Relic? What caused their demise or departure? These are the questions you want to ask when creating your Ancient Sentinel's background. Most importantly though, is why he abandoned his post, or chose to join the adventurer party?

I love this background. I am currently playing as a four armed warforged shadow stalker and this background fits perfectly.
