You believe, wholeheartedly, that you are a "Dungeon Master" – an omniscient overseer of worlds, characters, and fates. In your mind, you've orchestrated grand tales of heroes and villains, weaving stories that span realms. Whether these are memories of another life, the effects of a powerful curse, or mere delusions, no one can say for sure. What is undeniable, however, is your uncanny ability to predict events, your penchant for dramatics, and your comprehensive knowledge of beings, both common and rare.
- Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, Performance
- Tool Proficiencies: One type of gaming set
- Languages: One of your choice, reflecting a rare or ancient language you "use" in your games.
- Equipment: A set of artisan's tools (for crafting miniatures or game pieces), a collection of "character sheets" (parchments with detailed notes on various beings), a set of dice, and a pouch containing 10 gp in unusual coins.
Despite your delusion, your so-called "game master" instincts are occasionally on point. Once per long rest, when faced with an unfamiliar situation or creature, you can recall a "game session" where you encountered something similar. The DM can provide you with one obscure fact or hint about the situation or creature that isn't commonly known.
