"You grew up idolizing adventurers, memorizing their tales, and studying their techniques. Now, you seek to write your own legend, armed with knowledge and sheer determination."
From the moment you first heard tales of great warriors, cunning rogues, and powerful spellcasters, you were captivated. You pored over stories, listened eagerly to bardic songs, and imagined yourself standing among the heroes of old. Whether you grew up in the bustling city streets, the quiet countryside, or within the halls of nobility, one thing remained constant—your admiration for adventurers.
But admiration alone wasn’t enough. You studied their techniques, memorized their battles, and trained tirelessly to prepare yourself for the day you would set off on your own journey. Now, with dreams of glory and a heart full of ambition, you walk the same paths as your idols, determined to carve your name into history. Will you rise to greatness, or will you learn that legends aren’t always what they seem?
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two: History, Persuasion, Performance, Insight, or Investigation
- Tool Proficiencies: One type of gaming set or calligrapher’s supplies (to record your heroic journey)
- Equipment:
- A well-worn book filled with notes on famous adventurers and their exploits
- A set of traveler’s clothes
- A trinket from a hero you once met (or something you believe belonged to one)
- A pouch with 10gp
Your obsession with adventurers has given you a vast knowledge of their tactics and stories. You can recall famous figures, legendary battles, and hidden details about historical adventures (DM's discretion).
Additionally, when meeting someone renowned (like a noble, knight, or seasoned adventurer), you can attempt to impress them by recounting their deeds. If successful, they may regard you more favorably or be willing to share advice, minor favors, or training.
