Whatever the reason may be, you have been cast out of the place you call home. Whether it was for a cultural taboo, legal disobedience, or racial stigma, you have been forcibly evicted from the life you have known.
Forced to live on the outskirts of society, you have developed a self-dependence and a sense of isolation due to a life of hardships. You do not trust others easily and you may even refuse proffered help due to a fear of betrayal and a cynical point of view. You often find yourself an easy scapegoat for myriad local problems which potentially find you in jail for things outside of your doing.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two: Deception, Sleight of Hand, Stealth, Survival
- Tool Proficiencies: Disguise kit, one gaming set of your choice.
- Equipment: A set of Common clothes, a backpack, a bedroll, a mess kit, a waterskin, a hunting trap or fishing pole, a memento of your former life, and a pouch containing 5gp.
Every outcast was exiled from their community for a reason. Choose an event or roll on the table below.

| 1 | Committed a crime |
| 2 | Framed for a crime you didn't commit. |
| 3 | Heresy |
| 4 | Broke a social taboo. |
| 5 | Racial prejudice. |
| 6 | Political dissident. |
| 7 | Wronged a noble. |
| 8 | Caused an accident. |
Your sense of self-sufficiency has shaped your ability to fend for yourself. You can find food and fresh water for yourself alone each day, provided the area provides sufficient means to do so. This food is meager and not filling, but staves off hunger. In addition, once per long rest, you can re-roll a failed Stealth, Sleight of Hand, or Survival check as long as no allies are within 30 feet of you.
However, your gossip about your reputation has reached neighboring towns and cities. You suffer disadvantage on any checks pertaining to social interaction. Also, unless an ally or comrade can vouch for you, you are likely to be denied service in many facilities (such as inns, taverns, markets, or local administrators/nobles).
Suggested Characteristics
Outcasts are unwelcome in most civilized areas, treated with neglect at best and outright hostility at worst. Whatever tribal, social, or familial bonds existed before are gone now; only self-sufficiency is important and outcasts are always looking out for themselves first.
