You are from the Goodboy family, a large family of (mostly) halflings that are well known for their affinity for animals as well as other people, and their religious devotion to Eldath, the goddess of peace. Naturally not every member of the Goodboy family is exactly the same (not even all of them are halflings or believe in Eldath) but they all have one thing in common: they're good boys (or girls, or gender non-conforming.)
- Skill Proficiencies: Goodboys are naturally adept at animal handling and religion.
- Tool Proficiencies: The Goodboys are found all over Faerun and hold many different types of jobs. You are proficient in one type of tool related to your profession, and either an instrument or gaming set to represent your hobby.
- Equipment: Pick one tool related to your profession, one instrument or gaming set, common clothes, fishing tackle, a sentimental item (roll or choose something from the Trinket's table, or make one up at DM's discretion) and a small pouch containing 10gp.
Goodboys are always welcome among the common folk. You can always find a place to recuperate among common folk, and they will even hide you from the law and other threats, but will not risk their lives for you.
Suggested Characteristics
Goodboys tend to be simple, gentle folk. They are religious, social, and love the simple pleasures of life.

Many members of the Goodboy family don't just follow the teachings of Eldath, they devote their lives to her.
Whenever you find a temple devoted to Eldath or a similar goddess (gods of harvest and nature such as Mieliekki and Chauntea, for example) or a home or business operated by another Goodboy (like Goodboy's Good Inn) you are welcome to stay for free and even ask them for help, such as in spellcasting services or resupplying for more adventures.
