You come from a long line of people with the ability to sense emotions. Some, like you, feel compelled to attack those with particularly strong feelings. You may be able to suppress this need sometimes, but other times you are unable to control yourself. This may have caused you to be shunned from your family or friends, or you may have left to protect those around you.

Feature: Vibe Check
You can sense the emotions of those around you, although you cannot discern what the emotion is specifically. If the DM rules an emotion to be particularly strong, make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, make you attack whoever is experiencing this emotion.
Suggested Characteristics
