Inheritance
Prerequisite: Background with ties to a family, mentor, noble house, guild, or religious order
Your past affords you a legacy, a token of significance passed down or granted as you step into your adventuring life. Whether a cherished heirloom, a gift of faith, or the favor of an influential patron, this item represents both value and responsibility.
Benefit
When you choose this feat, select one item or a small, logically connected set of items with a total market value of up to 500 gold pieces. This item must be approved by your DM and should be appropriate to your background, upbringing, or training.
The item is of exceptional quality and may bear a mark, inscription, or unique aesthetic tied to its origin (such as a family crest, a mentor’s rune, or a guild sigil).
