Your reputation as a warrior woman commands respect and wariness wherever you go. You can find shelter and assistance among fellow warriors, mercenary companies, or isolated Amazon enclaves, even in foreign lands. If you prove your strength or skill, even those outside your culture—such as barbarian tribes, knightly orders, or gladiatorial circles—may offer you hospitality or aid.
Additionally, you never suffer disadvantage on Charisma checks when dealing with warriors, hunters, or mercenaries, unless you have personally wronged them.
Suggested Characteristics
Warrior women are fierce, independent, and disciplined, trained from birth to excel in combat and survival. Their loyalty to their sisters is absolute, but those who wander often struggle to balance their upbringing with the wider world's customs. Some become mercenaries or champions of noble causes, while others carve their own legend with blade and bow.
