You have received (or believe to have received) a vision of your own death. Whether this vision was granted by a arcane effect, a celestial being, a powerful extra-planar entity, or a figment of your imagination, you are convinced that this is your destiny and you cannot be shaken from this path. But armed with this information, you boldly throw yourself into risky situations or dangerous activities without regard to your own safety. After all, things don't end here, right?
- Skill Proficiencies: Religion. Choose one from among History, Insight, Intimidation, or Survival
- Languages: Choose one language (Abyssal, Celestial, Fey, Infernal, or Primordial) associated with your vision.
- Equipment: A explorer’s pack, a set of common clothes, and one trinket of special significance related to your vision.
Your vision into the future has revealed your demise. The end is a specific place or event that has defined your personality.
