| d8 | Personality Trait |
|---|---|
| 1 | It is taboo among my people to purchase food. I must catch or gather and cook my own meals. |
| 2 | I am accustomed to skittish animals, so I move in a deliberate, slow manner, and speak in a similar manner. |
| 3 | I have little concept of privacy. |
| 4 | I'm driven by a wanderlust that led me away from home. |
| 5 | I place no stock in wealthy or well-mannered folk. Money and manners won't save you from a hungry owlbear. |
| 6 | I feel far more comfortable around animals than people. |
| 7 | I have a lesson for every situation, drawn from observing nature. |
| 8 | It's bad luck to be in the back of any line. |
| d6 | Ideal |
|---|---|
