You make your living sifting through the forgotten places of the world—ancient ruins, abandoned outposts, or the debris of old conflicts. You have a knack for finding useful items among the rubble, understanding how to cobble things together, and uncovering hidden pathways or forgotten lore. The silence of ruins holds more comfort for you than the bustle of towns.

Feature: Scavenger's Eye
You have an uncanny knack for recognizing the value in broken things. When you spend at least an hour searching a ruined structure, complex wreckage, or recent battleground, you can find small quantities of useful, high-quality discarded items (e.g., a few intact ball bearings, a reusable bolt, a functional length of rope, some minor salvageable components that could be sold for 1d4 gp) or a clue about what caused the destruction that might otherwise be overlooked.
