You appeared in Wildspace many mortal lifetimes ago, you know not how or why. You have found and followed other adventurers, just happy to be along for the ride. You have developed an innate ability to fix things, and after many years of finding and repairing lost or discarded tools and equipment, you have learned to value things that most would overlook.
- Skill Proficiencies: Investigation, Sleight of Hand
- Tool Proficiencies: Thieves' Tools, one kind of Artisan's Tools
- Equipment: Choose A or B: (A) Thieves' Tools, one kind of Artisan's Tools (same as above), Pouch, Traveler's Clothes, 10GP; or (B) 50 GP
During your time as a scavenger, you have developed a particular affinity for a certain kind of stuff. Roll a d8 or choose from the table below.
| d6 | Favored Curiosity |
|---|---|
| 1 | Gadgetry |
| 2 | Metalwork |
| 3 | Arcane Relics |
| 4 | Clothing |
| 5 | Flora |
| 6 | Jewelry |
You routinely impress those around you with your ingenuity, and even people you haven't met are interested to see what you come up with. Whenever you or your companions are trying to repair something, you can ask any person you can see for assistance in locating necessary tools or materials, and they will provide (or point you towards) what you need, though they will not purchase anything for you.

While some freelancers scavenge among ruins and junkyards, you have an employer supported by an extensive supply chain network. This may be military, a trade guild, a wealthy benefactor, or a criminal organization
You can request assistance in locating necessary tools or materials from your supply chain, and they will provide (or point you towards) what you need. The information is free, but you will need your own funds or authorized approval for any purchases.
