You are running from something, literally attempting to escape a situation. Whether eluding an oppressive home life, people you can no longer bear to face, a cruel mentor, or even the bonds of servitude the one constant in your life thus far has been your continual flight to a better place...or at least a place that isn't where you were.
- Skill Proficiencies: Stealth
Perception
- Tool Proficiencies: Thieves' Tools
- Equipment: Thieves' Tools
After being on the run you can now spot when you're being followed more easily. If you are in a particular location (village, town, city, etc.) for longer than a day you can reliably track where the guards/authorities will be patrolling or stationed. While you have this awareness activated, you may roll perception checks to determine if someone/something is following you with advantage.
