You are a wanderer, someone who has never quite settled down; maybe you weren't accepted by society, or maybe you didn't want to be. Whatever the reason, you have traveled far and wide, seeing many things on your travels. You have picked up many survivalist skills and learned much about the world you live in.
- Skill Proficiencies: You gain proficiency in two of the following: Athletics, Acrobatics, Investigation, Nature, Animal Handling, Medicine and Survival
- Tool Proficiencies: You gain proficiency in one of the following: Cartographer's Tools, Cook's Utensils, Herbalism Kit, Navigator's Tools, Poisoner's Kit
- Languages: Gain one language of your choice. (This background includes all languages as an option, limits of language options are up to your DM)
- Equipment: You gain a Money Pouch (1 gold), Choice of Tool Set, and Choice of Clothes or Leather Armour.
You can make the most out of the lowest situations. You are accustomed to creating the most makeshift items possible, with the most unusable tools. Additionally, you have a great wealth of knowledge when it comes to nature and survival, as well as the creatures that live outside of civilisation. You may know more about certain beasts than the average person, or have a greater knowledge of plants; and when it comes to makeshift crafting and setting camp, you know better than anyone. You can find a use for even the most broken of tools, and the most obscure of flora. You are at home in the wilderness.
Suggested Characteristics
You are someone most likely with very little experience in civilisation, at the very least in recent years. You are much more accustomed to the wilderness, and a grey morality.
