You are a member of the Deepdelver’s Enclave and have uncovered some of Blackclaw Mountain’s mysteries, horrors, and treasures. What have you experienced during these adventures? What did you face, lose, and gain?
You have friends and rivals in the Enclave who witnessed your victories, teamwork, and reveling, but they also know your failures and fears. The Enclave is your family, and you have adopted their tenets of being a light in the dark and love of exploration.
- Skill Proficiencies: Perception, Survival
- Tool Proficiencies: Cartographer’s tools, thieves’ tools
- Equipment: A smooth black rock carved with a mysterious rune found in the mountain, a bullseye lantern, a map drawn by a friend who never returned from a delve, a set of common clothes, a two-person tent, and a purse containing 15 gp.
You are experienced at traveling and surviving in the caves of Blackclaw Mountain. While in these caves, you can retrace your steps to anyplace you have traveled. Additionally, when you enter a new location in the mountain, you immediately know a single piece of lore about the location provided by the GM. The lore could be about hazards or monsters rumored to be in the area, edible or harmful fauna or flora, or a historical fact or legend about the place.
Suggested Characteristics
