You previously dedicated yourself to care for a home, either by raising children, caring for sick family or community members, or some other reason. During this time, you developed many hobbies and relevant skills. You are proficient with many different household tools and skills and excel at providing for others using those tools and skills.
As a homemaker, your lie-detecting skills were top notch and nobody could tell a lie without you knowing it. You were also easily able to tend to your garden or care for minor wounds and sickness.
Eventually, you didn't need to be a homemaker anymore. Either you were no longer needed, no longer wanted, or it was no longer safe. Now, you use the skills you developed as a homemaker in your adventures.
- Skill Proficiencies: Insight; Survival or Medicine
- Tool Proficiencies: Cooking utensils, one Artisan Tool of your choice
- Languages: Any one language
- Equipment: Cooking supplies, wedding ring or other piece of family jewelry, a professional drawing/image of your family member(s), and tools related to your chosen hobby
There are many ways someone can be a homemaker and they are all valid. Choose the type of homemaker you were, or roll on the table below to decide:
| d9 | Lifestyle |
|---|---|
| 1 | I raised children without a parenting partner. |
| 2 | I took care of my partner while they provided for me, and never had children. |
| 3 | My house had many generations in it, and I was the caretaker of them all. |
| 4 | We weren't related by blood, but we found each other and formed our own family. |
| 5 | I ran a shelter or other place where multiple unrelated community members lived. |

| 7 | My family consisted mostly of animals. |
| 8 | I was responsible for caring for a family member with a long term, chronic illness or disability. |
| 9 | I was forced into being a homemaker, and never wanted to be. Every day was torturous. |
Your cooking is beyond compare. Once a day during a long rest, you can prepare a family dinner. Any creature that eats the meal receives 1d6 + Proficiency Bonus temporary health points until the next long rest.
If someone insults your cooking, even as a joke, you must remove 1d6 from your next saving throw. If no saving throw occurs before the next long rest, this feat is no longer active.
Suggested Characteristics
