Utilitarian (BIRTHRIGHT)

While not as flashy as your comrades, you’ve got a trick or seven up your sleeve for any situation.

Gain access to the Improvise table.
When checking bodies for valuables, you additionally pilfer 1d4 gold worth of loot others overlook per body.
(Roll 1d4, then multiply that number by the number of total bodies you check.)
Gain Proficiency in one skill of your choice.

Improvise: Once per short rest as an Bonus Action you can attempt to exploit a fight to your advantage.
Roll a D12 on the Improvise table, you may choose for that effect to occur.

At level 7, roll at advantage and choose which outcome you would prefer. If you roll doubles, you may choose any effect from the table.

At level 15, you may instead freely pick any effect.

1 - Fatal Flaw	You observe a fatal flaw in an enemy’s defense; A target you can see is Marked for one minute, as if affected by a Faerie Fire spell.
2 - Lull	You observe a lull in the combat, and capitalize on it with your allies. An ally within 30 feet that can hear you gains an additional turn at the bottom of this round.
3 - Distracted	An enemy seems overwhelmed. The next attack roll you make against an enemy within 60 ft is made at Double Advantage.

Birthrights and Attunements are an expanded Feats list that may be made available by your DM. Birthrights are powerful boons your character has had since birth, whereas attunements are earned at set level thresholds just like Feats.

Birthrights are game-changingly powerful, so balance your encounters accordingly.

Attunements are similar in power to Feats, but are more geared towards unlocking specific niche playstyles, and are less game-breaking for a vanilla setting.

Gain one Birthright from Character Creation, and an Attunement at levels 5, 10, 15, and 20.
