You have been chosen by the Gods to come and save this world. You are from a realm without magic, without dragons, and have never seen a world like this before. Your purpose is simple: To save this realm from whatever Dark forces threaten it. You have been given this task because of the courage in your hearts, even if you do not realize your full potential yet.
- Tool Proficiencies: One tool set
- Languages: Any one of your choice
Feature: Never Tell Me the Odds
You have been gifted with a Unique Skill that you and only you possess. You must use it wisely, as it drains from your Arcane Focus (your mobile device). You have three charges; each must meet a certain DC. If not passed, it loses a charge. If all charges are spent, you must wait a long rest for your device to recharge. How it recharges is unknowns to you. Perhaps something...or someone, is aiding you from the veils of the unknown, hiding their presence from you. You should be grateful, as these gifts may save you and your friends.
Suggested Characteristics
Some gamble out of necessity. Others do so out of boredom. Still others become addicted to the thrill of winning or losing everything on a turn of fortune. For some, gambling is less a matter of chance and more a matter of seeking every advantage to ensure the outcome. The best gamblers can lose everything, and the worst gamblers sometimes win. Regardless, you can always tell gamblers by the look in their eyes. Lady Luck haunts them.
