Fell-Touched Image

Your blood has been tainted by the shadowfell, and its dark energies have pervaded both your body and your soul. The source of these forces could be from your ancestors, a curse placed on you or your bloodline, or just wandering too close to the shadowfell as a child.

 
Skill Proficiencies: The Fell energies coursing through your body dampen the sound you make and the light you reflect, making you easier to look over. You gain proficiency in the stealth and sleight of hand skills.
Tool Proficiencies: You did not have a merry childhood, and often disguised yourself to avoid the wary and judgmental eyes of others. You have proficiency with a disguise kit
Languages: The fell presence in your soul whispers to you, teaching you the tongue of those that live in the dark. You can speak and understand Undercommon
Equipment: Your affliction manifests itself in fairly obvious ways without you covering it. Along your travels as an outcast, you met similar people, and you have held on to a small trinket one gave you.
 
Fell Markings

The dark energies within you manifest themselves in your being in strange ways.

Suggested Characteristics

Those who have been touched by the shadowfell are often shunned, due to superstitions that surround the dark plane. They are almost always outcasts, people without a real place to  return to or risk persecution. Almost all have either been overtaken by an urge to cure themselves, or given into the stigma that people have towards them.
