You or your ancestors directly endured a significant, localized surge of the Psychic Resonance. Perhaps you were caught in a lingering Wild Magic Zone, survived a chaotic event near the Valley of Whispers, or simply grew up in an area where the psychic static was unusually strong. This experience has left you with a peculiar sensitivity to the world's unseen energies, but also a deep understanding of its dangers.
- Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Survival
- Tool Proficiencies: Herbalism Kit or Navigator's Tools (choose one)
- Languages: One exotic language of your choice (e.g., Deep Speech, Sylvan, or a forgotten pre-Sundering language)
- Equipment: A small, polished Resonance Lens/Filter (non-magical, grants advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to detect strong psychic disturbances, but not the magical properties of the Wondrous Item), a journal filled with cryptic notes or strange drawings, a set of common clothes, a pouch containing 10 gp.
You possess an uncanny awareness of lingering psychic energy. When you enter a location that has been heavily affected by psychic phenomena (like a former Deep Mind Collective site, a place where a powerful psion died, or a Heartshard surge) or a place of great emotional intensity (like a battlefield), you feel a distinct mental hum or a subtle emotional impression. You can make an Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom (Insight) check (DC 13) to try and glean a general impression of the event or emotions that occurred there (e.g., "a great sadness," "a sudden fear," "a burst of anger and betrayal," "a chaotic surge of power"). This doesn't grant specific details but provides a strong emotional or energetic flavor.
