You don't belong in this world. You come from an alien realm where magic doesn't exist, technology is far more advanced, and the adventures you now face are confined only to fiction.
- Skill Proficiencies: Select any two skills that are not Arcana, History, or Religion.
- Tool Proficiencies: Select two of your choice from any artisan's tools (except alchemist's supplies), any musical instrument, or any gaming set.
- Equipment: A communications device with no power, a wallet with a dozen banknotes of a currency not accepted in this world, a ring of keys, a set of strange clothes, and a pouch with 10gp.
Though you came to this world without a copper piece to your name, the advanced knowledge you brought with you has given you something of value to offer. You are well versed in a field that is farther advanced in your world than the one you are in now. You could be well educated, but even a basic education in some places of your world is extraordinary in this one.
To make a life for yourself, you have contributed your knowledge to some organization in this world. You may have taught a cult the secrets of calculus, or instructed a blacksmith's guild in how to make stronger steel. The organization considers itself indebted to you for your contribution, and is willing to support you at a modest lifestyle. They consider you a member or their organization, although you may have to pay monthly dues to gain the full benefits of membership.
The technology you introduce my cause disruption in the world and its balance of power. Work with your DM to determine what impact your knowledge has on the world if any.
