Exiled Outlander Image

You grew up in the wilds with your clan or tribe, far from civilization and the comforts of town and technology. You’ve witnessed the migration of herds larger than forests, survived weather more extreme than any city-dweller could comprehend, and enjoyed the closeness to the nature. The wilds are in your blood, but it's not the same without your family, people you knew your whole life. For the first time you are truly on your own but years of living in the wilds prepared you for this. Even in places where you don’t know the specific features of the terrain, you know the ways of the wild.

 
Skill Proficiencies: Animal handling, Survival
Tool Proficiencies: Leatherworker's tools
Languages: One of your choice
Equipment: A fishing tackle, a hunting trap, leatherworker's tools, a small knife, trophy from an animal you killed, a set of traveler’s clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp
 
Feature: The wildness in your blood

Even though you've never bothered with maps and study books, you have an excellent memory for places and can figure out the ways of nature, and you can always recall the general layout of terrain, settlements, and other features around you. In addition, you can find food and fresh water for yourself and up to five other people each day, provided that the land offers berries, small game, water, and so forth.

 
Suggested Characteristics

Often considered rude and uncouth among civilized folk, outlanders have little respect for the niceties of life in the cities. The ties of tribe, clan, family, and the natural world of which they are a part are the most important bonds to most outlanders.
