You are a Toddler. You are between 1-3 years old, and are unable to survive on your own and rely on an older being to survive. You may be practicing to take up a class but you are not experienced in that class and tend to fail with all class specific actions. While you are dependent on an older being, you still gain experience from encounters but at 1/4th the rate when compared to an experienced adventurer. You likely have not been in a dungeon yet and will be overwhelmed during your years as a toddler, however pressure makes diamonds and starting young is considered a sign of a future well known hero.
- Skill Proficiencies: You are a toddler. You don't have many skills, however, though you may not know much about the world just yet, you know your stronger emotions have profound impacts on older beings, therefore, you are proficient in performance.
ABILITY SCORE ADJUSTMENTS: Since you are a toddler, you are pretty bad at everything, thus you start with 5s in every ability score. Racial traits however are incredibly influential on a child's abilities, thus you may choose one ability score that would be increased by your racial trait and make it exactly average (10). Additionally, you may choose 1 ability score to increase by 2 and another to increase by 1. Finally, when determining your hit points use the normal hit point determination system however disregard any negative effects an ability modifier would have on your health.
- Tool Proficiencies: As a toddler, you have not done any laborious tasks in your youth that would create a proficiency with any tools. However, you have a toddler's curiosity, hence for any tool you attempt to use, perform an opposed 1d10 roll with your DM. If the rolls match, then, surprisingly, you are able to properly use the tool at this time. However, if it does not match, this tool counts as an improvised weapon.
- Languages: As a toddler, you do not have mastery of any language. The primary language of the older being you are traveling with is the language you have partial mastery over. This partial mastery applies to attempts at communication with all adult beings, however, be it an emotional connection or childlike intuition, you completely understand the older being you are traveling with.
- Equipment: As a toddler, you are not given any equipment that may be potentially dangerous, however you wear common clothes, and have a small toy or instrument of your choosing.
Your naivety and inexperience with the world around you lead you to have an overwhelming appreciation for everything you see. You can use this to your advantage in order to seem innocent or non-threatening, or just to convince that cool wizard to let you pet their familiar.
