You are the anomaly that locals whisper about around the campfire. Whether you are a wandering Sasquatch, a Mothman warning of disaster, or a mysterious Jackalope, you know the wilderness intimately and leave very few traces. You live on the edges of civilization, surviving on instincts and elusiveness.
- Ability Scores: Dexterity, Wisdom, Constitution
- Feat: Skulker
- Skill Proficiencies: Survival, Stealth
- Equipment: A set of traveler’s clothes, a unique token from the wilderness (like a shed feather, a polished antler, or a glowing scale), a map you've drawn of strange local phenomena, and a belt pouch containing 15 gp.
Feature: The Unseen Anomaly
You leave almost no trace when traveling through your native or preferred environment (such as deep forests, murky swamps, or rocky mountains) unless you choose to. Tracking you is nearly impossible, as your tracks seemingly disappear into the earth. Additionally, you gain advantage on all checks made to hide when you are in this environment, and you can always find basic sustenance and safe shelter within it.
