"I was just vibing… then fate wandered into my path."
Overview
You lived a simple, content life rooted in your culture’s everyday rhythms—gathering, crafting, walking in the woods, tending land, observing life. You didn’t seek out danger or glory; you just followed your curiosity, your routines, your joy. Until one day, something extraordinary interrupted the ordinary. Whether it was a stranger, a relic, a vision, or a ripple in the world—you followed it, and your life changed course.

When you encounter a stranger, object, or event that seems connected to your moment of “change,” you get an intuitive sense of significance. The DM may give you cryptic insight, a vision, or even a temporary advantage if the thread feels true. Once per long rest, you can ask the DM if a person, place, or thing you’ve encountered is “connected to your path.” The answer may be clear, symbolic, or ambiguous—but it’s always meaningful.
