You are not particularly intelligent and believe in strange gods that "came to you" in your hour of need. No one else has heard of these gods, but people do not openly mock you because you excel in combat and just might be insane. You come from a humble background doing hard labor, and look like you may have taken a hard blow to the head, so most folk tend to take pity on you, while those of higher station and aspiration might see you as either an opportunity or hinderance.

Skill Proficiencies: Athletics or Acrobatics, and Stealth, Nature, Animal Handling, Survival, or Perception

Tool Proficiencies: One type of artisan’s tools. 

Equipment: A set of artisan’s tools (one of your choice), a shovel, an iron pot, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp

A village idiot sees themselves as perfectly sane, and others who do not share in their delusions as either dumb, crazy or evil. They believe what they are doing is right, but tend to be easily misled and put their faith in persuasive individuals.
