Your origins are a mystery, even to yourself. You have no memory of who you are, what you did up until this point, or how you got here; it's all a big blank to you, your old life. What you uncover may be worth remembering, or best left forgotten.
- Skill Proficiencies: Investigation, Survival
- Tool Proficiencies: Tool proficiencies of your choice
Feature: Deja Vu
You suddenly remember a huge amount of detail about a person, place or thing that you are currently looking at or interacting with without knowing why. Maybe a certain phrase or image sets you off, but you suddenly know all about this thing like you've been familiar with it for years. Any Insight, Investigation or History checks you make relating to this thing are done with advantage. You can use this feature three times per campaign and/or per character.
Suggested Characteristics
An amnesiac is, in a sense, without identity. While they maintain a personality, they cannot recall the memories and experiences that shape it. For this reason, amnesiacs tend to put great stock in instinct and intuition. They are usually open to any and all experiences, wanting to create new memories to make up for the lack thereof.
