Hitchhiker Image

You've been traveling for a long time, sweet-talking your way into wagons and boats and when that didn't work, sneaking your way on (usually) unnoticed anyway. You've made your home on the road, sleeping under the stars and in the cargo holds of ships, and you wouldn't have it any other way... or maybe you would? It may be your home, but the road is lonely.

 
 
Feature: Convincing

You can take 15 minutes to talk with a non-hostile NPC and convince them to give you up to three common traveling/adventuring items (Bedroll, rations, oil, and the like.)

 
Suggested Characteristics

Being on the road for so long, most hitchhikers pick up a few quirks. Choose yours.
