ALCHEMIST
You have worked in a town or a city as an Alchemist. Maybe working for the ruler of the settlement or for yourself trying
to earn a living. Working with chemicals and potions has given you a large array of knowledge of how to make such
concoctions. Using these skills you can make potions, deadly poisons, or primitive explosives (if your DM allows it).

rare, and DC25 for very rare. You must be unbound and have access to your alchemist’s supplies to make use of this ability.
Before attempting to make any potion you must have immediate access to the material components (if any) of the spell that
the potion most resembles. (potion of healing = cure wounds etc.)

Bounty Hunter
However fine and noble the world might have seemed at first glance, once you dug a little deeper beneath the facade, a
deeper truth revealed itself to you. Conflict and strife are the only real constants in "civilized" lands, and for you, therein lay
the opportunity for profit. As a bounty hunter you had plied your trade well, offering dubious (if effective) services and
skills to all manner of client for myriad reasons- superficial or otherwise. Regardless of the cause, the justification, or the
moral impunity associated with locating your mark. Every job finished brought the clink of coin between your purse strings
at the expense of another poor soul fated to endure consequences dire, and often foul.

Though the time spent in this line of work has left you grim and jilted, your reputation for ruthlessness and cunning
precedes you. More often than not, you found yourself sought after and petitioned to ferret a mark, never needing to eke out
the work on your own. From the lowly debtor owing the wrong merchant guild, to the misguided runaway offspring of a
minor noble, or the thieving murderer eluding the city guard, none could evade your dogged pursuit, and many more dared
not try once your involvement was learned.

Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from the following: Deception, Intimidation, Medicine, Stealth or Survival
Tool Proficiencies: Thieves' Tools
Equipment: Ink bottle, a set of traveler's clothes, ink pen, 6 pages of parchment, 4 hunting traps, thieves' tools, 5 rare
trinkets from previous bounties (roll on table PHB pg. 160-161), and a belt pouch containing 30 gold

Feature: Names, Faces, and Places

Though many claim the role of a bounty hunter, few actually excel at the profession save those with a keen eye for
observation. Among the adept are those who are truly gifted, having an almost preternatural talent for anticipating the
behavior of their targeted mark. Being among their ranks, you have an uncanny ability to recall specific details of
conversation and names you overhear or participate in as it relates to your bounty, or otherwise see written, even if only for
a moment or two. You can also sketch out faces and general locations you've seen with accuracy, possessing exceptional
recollection. In addition, you often effortlessly identify clues when tracking your bounty's movements and disposition that
would be otherwise lost on lesser pursuers.

Feature: Contacts and Forgery

As a bounty hunter you have traveled far and wide which has allowed you to have built up a network of contacts and
informants that can help you track down your mark. If you are in a town or city where one of your contacts or informants
reside (DM's discretion) you may inquire about information that pertains to your mark for the right price or trade a favor to
gain the information (DM's discretion). Additionally you have trained yourself in creating documents that will allow you to
gain entry into areas you would normally not be allowed to enter in order to capture your mark. You can forge documents
including officials papers and personal letters, as long as you have seen an example of the kind of document or handwriting
you are trying to copy.

Feature: Ear to the Ground

You are in frequent contact with people in the segment of society that your chosen mark moves through. These people might
be associated with the criminal underworld, the rough-and-tumble folk of the streets, or members of high society. This
connection comes in the form of a contact in any city you visit, a person who provides information about the people, places
and the political standings of the local area.

Suggested Characteristics
A bounty hunter's sole purpose is to hunt down people with a price on their head, for grievances ranging from the mundane
to the terrible. Those who follow this life can be quiet, taciturn individuals as readily as they can be savage brutes living not
for the pay, but for the thrill of pursuit. Hunters are therefore often as varied in personality as their marks.

d8 Personality Trait
1 I tend to approach conversation with people I've just met as though it were an interrogation.
2 I project arrogance and conceit at times, especially after turning in a troublesome target.
3 I'll accept the help of others with a bounty, so long as they can prove their skill to me first.
4 It needn't be hunting down a mark - I'll chop firewood for an old woman if there's pay involved.
5 I'm not prone to idle chatter, and prefer keeping to myself unless the topic's business.
6 I've a great deal of practical experience from hunting bounties, and can relate to almost any situation.
7 I'm rather adept at games of skill like darts, or five-finger fillet.
8 I frequently move from town to town, eager to pursue new marks and seek new contacts.
d6 Ideal
1 Justice These people have violated the law once. I won't let it happen twice. (Lawful)
2 Wealth The only path to true freedom is having gold enough to do as you will. (Chaotic)
3 Brutality Gold pales to the brilliance of the life draining from their eyes. (Evil)
4 Morality It's not enough to hunt them down. They have to understand what they've done is reprehensible. (Good)
5 Ambiguity This job's just a job, like any other. Nothing personal against my targets. (Neutral)
6 Endurance In no other line of work could anyone expect to test their limits so completely. (Any)

d6 Bond
1 Once a solider, my comrade's grave betrayal forced me from my home, and into this life.
2 Though my friends are few, I owe them my life many times over, and would happily die for them.
3 Horrendous tales and vile rumor destroyed my family's good name, and this path is the only recourse to find the
truth.
4 The contract turned sour, and now I find myself yoked to dangerously twisted employers.
5 All my deeds would surely consign me to prison—only by servicing officials do I stay free.
6 Mindless thuggery stole the life of one I cherished, and the price they must pay is one I will collect.

d6 Flaw
1 Sleep, when it comes, is no sleep at all. The time spent tracking marks has left me skittish and paranoid.
2 Not only am I good at what I do, but I love what I do - and I hate myself for it.
3 I refuse to believe anyone can be trusted, and will root through their life until I'm satisfied they can be.
4 At a younger age my actions earned me the brand of a criminal, those mistakes haunting me and my fellows even
today.
5 It is only for my own selfish need to be the best at what I do that I abandon my team to bring the bounty in first.
6 Contract or not, I never bring murder bounties back alive. They showed no mercy, and so neither will I.

Variant Bounty Hunter: Vigilante

Standing in contrast to the mercenaries who haul in anyone labeled a criminal for coin are those who target thieves,
charlatans, and murderers exclusively—and for no material reward. Vigilantes are as often soldiers dumbstruck by newly-
found social decay and corruption whence they return home from war, as they are wealthy citizens with a penchant for
martial prowess an and axe to grind against their city's seedy underbelly for a past, personal transgression. As a matter of
course, a particularly zealous vigilante may come into conflict with a bounty hunter, deeming her as guilty of violating the
law as any brigand skulking about an alleyway. If you indeed wish to be a vigilante, select the Crime Doesn't Pay feature
outlined below instead of the Names, Faces, & Places feature above. Living a life of vigilantism means that you will always
be on the lookout for criminal activity, especially so if you're within the boundaries of a town or other settlement you claim
as your home. The promise of payment never sways your decisions in whom you target, and you hold yourself to a higher
code than your capricious counterparts—you consider it preferable to turn your marks over to the appropriate authorities
instead of harming them.

City guard and militia are likely to turn a blind eye to your unsanctioned activities unless you cross someone in their rank,
be they corrupted, prideful, or otherwise. Additionally, as your reputation grows, you will gradually earn the accolades and
support of the common people who find their streets safer, and petty thugs less inclined to hold them at knife point over a
few coins. At the same time, organizations and individuals accustomed to using their coffers to help guide a settlement's
definition of "criminal" (such as a merchant house, corrupt council member, and the like) will gradually grow to resent and
perhaps lash out at your burgeoning reputation.

Variant Feature: Crime Doesn't Pay

Pulling from your prior experiences as a soldier, mercenary, or even an extensive time living the life of a vigilante, you have
the skills needed to wage a kind of psychological battle against the criminal elements of society. When interrogating
someone to glean information about the location, motive, or operations of their superiors, they will easily buckle under
questioning and often times readily give up sensitive knowledge without the need to press further. Any promises you may
make concerning their fate in exchange for information you are not obligated to keep, short of killing them. You can
coordinate this information with any authority in a city you're on amiable terms with, be it the guard or militia, your own old
military unit, or even a sympathetic temple's leadership, provided that temple maintains soldiers of their own.

Replace the hunter's traps and bounty trinkets with a magnifying glass and a set of manacles.
Courtesan
Nobles, politicians, criminals, the common man; hell, maybe even an orc or two. At some point in your life, you have
been with all manner of society's finest and worst through your profession. Your profession, whether through freedom of
choice, or a cruel twist of unfortunate events, is one that utilizes a very specific set of skills: the art of seduction. Though
your circumstances may be unfortunate, you use them to your advantage. Whether it is using your body to persuade a client
to change their mind on an issue, using your unique skill set to distract clients while you steal from right under their noses,
or even playing the part of a cheap assassin. When making a character with this background ask yourself these question:
What led your character to these circumstances? Was it a twisted and unfortunate fate? Or was it a vocation of choice? How
much do you charge for your services? Are you self employed, or do you work under a pimp? Where do you work? Where
is your place of work? These are the questions you must consider and consider wisely, for they will shape your character, in
the beginning of their journey at least.

Skill Proficiencies: Persuasion, Sleight of Hand

Tool Proficiencies: Disguise kit
Languages: One standard language of your choice.
Equipment: A set of fine clothes, a purse containing 5 gp, a disguise kit, and a small gilded mirror.

living.

1 I was under the wing of royalty, always loyal to their whims.
2 I have broken so many hearts, either for gold or fun.
3 I used to offer my services in a brothel.
4 My services always opened even the best locked doors.

Feature: The Oldest Profession

Due to your history of work, you can obtain free lodging in brothels or inns where you have conducted business in the past.
The owners of these establishments can recommend other locations where you may be able to obtain discounted lodging by
dropping their name or offering your services during your stay. If you encounter past clients, you may be able to obtain
resources or other aid from them. Depending on your relationship with any given client, this may be through blackmail or
through seduction.

Eternal One
You are a creature that has lived for a very long time. How did you become this eternal being? Were you cursed to freeze
in time? Perhaps a vampire took the life from your body and now you live eternally undead. Maybe a deity granted you
eternal life? Many seek the power of immortality. Whether you sought it out or it was placed upon you unwillingly you have
it now. How recently did you receive your immortality? And what are you going to do with your now unlimited time? Being
an eternal one does not actually prevent you from dying in game. Most forms of immortality actually end upon death. In
certain circumstances your body might move to a different plane to regenerate over many millennia.

Skill Proficiencies: History and Choose one from: Arcana, Religion, Survival, Investigation, Nature or Perception. You
also gain expertise in one skill of your choice.

may need to go to within the city.

Alternate Feature: Researcher

Only use this feature in a situation where you have just recently gained your immortality and have no lived for an extended
period of time. When you attempt to learn or recall a piece of lore, if you do not know that information, you often know
where and from whom you can obtain it. Usually, this information comes from a library, scriptorium, university, or a sage or
other learned person or creature. Your DM might rule that the knowledge you seek is secreted away in an almost
inaccessible place, or that it simply cannot be found. Unearthing the deepest secrets of the multiverse can require an
adventure or even a whole campaign.

Falconer
As a Falconer, you have spent years strengthening the bonds between yourself and your bird of prey. What led you to
become a falconer? Was it a love for birds? Were you driven by your need to hunt for survival? Was it a hobby growing up?
Or was it a need to master nature's predators of the air? Who trained you in falconry, or was it simply the bond between man
and bird that helped you master the ancient art yourself? How do you employ your skill? Do you work as a messenger or
perhaps a scout for a group of mercenaries? What species of raptor did you obtain and how did you come to acquire your
companion? These are just a few questions to help you flesh out your inner raptor.

Skill Proficiencies: Animal Handling, and Survival

Tool Proficiencies: Falconer’s kit and one type of artisan’s tools
Languages: Any one language that isn’t a secret language.

Equipment: A Falconer’s kit, a set of traveler's clothes, three days worth of rations, a set of artisan's tools of your choice,
and a pouch containing 15 gp.

Specialization
The falconer is a master of training birds of prey. They can deploy their feathered friends to act as spies, messengers and
even combatants in hostile situations. The amount of time falconers spend with their bird companions and the bond they
create with these avian creatures create an awe-inspiring effect. Falconers of different professions tend to specialize in a
specific species of bird to train, most commonly the vulture, the eagle, the hawk, and the owl. Choose one of these four
creatures to become your bird companion. If you already receive an animal companion from a class feature and your animal
companion is a bird, your animal companion is treated as your bird companion for this background's features.

d4 Specialization
1 Vulture
2 Eagle
3 Hawk
4 Owl

Feature: Avian Scout

As a Falconer, you can employ the capture, use, and companionship of a bird of prey. Choose a creature from the list
below. That creature is now your bird companion.
• vulture
• eagle
• hawk
• owl
• blood hawk
• peregrine falcon

Upon becoming your companion, your birds' Maximum Hit Points are equal to three-fourths of your Maximum Hit Points
(rounded up) or their current Maximum Hit Points, whichever is higher. Their AC is equal to three-fourths of your AC
(rounded up) or their current AC, whichever is higher. They also gain a +2 bonus to their AC and a bonus to their Maximum
Hit Points based on their CR. If you call a bird that has a CR of 0, they gain a +5 bonus to their Maximum Hit Points. If the
called bird has a CR of 1/8 or 1/4, they gain a +3 bonus to their Maximum Hit Points. Finally, if the called bird has a CR of
1/2 or higher, they do not gain a bonus to their Maximum Hit Points. It also has a Hit Dice of 1d8 and gains a Hit Dice each
time you gain a level (as if it were its own Player Character). When your bird companion reaches 0 Hit Points but is not
killed outright, it falls unconscious and starts to make death saves (also as if it were a Player Character).

In combat, this bird companion shares the same initiative and turn as you but doesn't share actions or movement speed. If it
is one size smaller than you or smaller, it can take up the same space as you. However, it cannot take the Attack action or
interact with a hostile creature in any way. While engaged in combat or outside of combat, your bird companion can deliver
items to other willing creatures. It can also scout ahead to find hidden places, objects, and creatures as you travel. Your bird
companion can move a number of feet away from you equal to (your proficiency bonus + your level) x 10. If your
companion dies, you must spend 12 hours capturing a new one and 24 straight hours to train it before you can use this
feature again. Your bird companion's ability to detect traps, hazards, hidden passages, treasure, or hostile creatures is
determined by a Perception skill check. When returning from a scouting trip, you have a general understanding of what your
bird companion is trying to tell you (one-two specific details at the maximum). This skill check uses your bird companion's
ability scores and any additional bonuses. Your bird companion also gains a bonus to this skill check equal to your Wisdom
modifier.

Feature: Sight of the Raptor

At 3rd level and higher, as an action you can share your bird’s sight until the start of your next turn, gaining any special
senses that your companion has. Additionally, you can exert limited control over your companion up to 500 feet away. If
your companion leaves this range, you loose sight and your control (though you can send it one last command, lie “return”).

Feral Child (aka Raised by Wolves)

Some people are abandoned or lost when they are young, and subsequently survive in the wild by some freak stroke of
luck. You are one such person. Were you raised by animals, or did you survive entirely by yourself? Are you an orphan? Did
your parents abandon you in the woods because of poverty or apathy? Were you accidentally lost when your relatives were
walking through the wilderness with you? It is possible you have no memory at all of your parents or how you ended up
separated from them in the first place. After your first encounter with humanoids, how did you come to live in humanoid
society? Did you seek out other people or were you forced away from your home and into a world you had no connection to
or understanding of?
 Skill Proficiencies: Nature and Survival
Tool Proficiencies: Herbalism kit, Poisoner's kit
Equipment: a set of common clothes, a strange object you found while in the wilderness, such as shiny stone or a ruined
relic of a bygone age. You have a locket which gives you luck, and a large water skin .

Animal Caretakers
If you were raised by animals, you should choose between being raised by predators or primates; here’s a list of possible
animals you could have been raised by:

d10 Predators Primates

1 Wolves Baboons
2 Black Bears Gorillas
3 Brown Bears Orangutans
4 Lions Chimpanzees
5 Tigers Bonobos
6 Mountain Lions Spider Monkeys
7 Panthers Howler Monkeys
8 Foxes Lemurs
9 Wolverines Gibbons
10 Hyenas Mandrills

You understand the body language of the species of animal you were raised by, and can use your own body language to
indicate non-hostility towards those animals.

Feature: Scent Recall

Your sense of smell was finely tuned during your years in the wild. You can discern and recognize particularly subtle and
important scents in your life, such as blood, a monster's stink, or a friend's sweat.

Suggested Characteristics
Due to the fact that you didn’t grow up around humanoids, you have a difficulty learning their languages and social rules.

While growing up among wild animals it is very possible that you had a constant nagging feeling that you were somehow
abnormal or malformed. After all, you didn’t look at all like the creatures around you. You have always felt like an outsider
in some way. It wasn’t until you encountered humanoids that you knew there were others in the world that looked like
yourself. This may have been a relief or a disturbing realization.

Due to the fact that you didn’t grow up around humanoids, you have a difficulty learning their languages and social rules.
After you entered humanoid society you were probably treated as a freak or a fascination. It took you a while to learn to
speak to other people and you still have some trouble with communication. Social rules are confusing and difficult for you
to remember.

d8 Personality Trait
1 I didn’t grow up wearing clothes, and I still don’t like the feel of them on my body.
2 I am more comfortable around animals than people.
3 I don’t put much stock into money. I would rather have things that are useful or beautiful than valuable. I don’t
need material possessions to keep me happy.
4 I love learning new words and hearing them roll off my tongue. I’ll often repeat a word I just learned over and over
again.
5 I would rather live in the woods than in a city.
6 I don’t understand the role of religion.
7 People’s problems in civilized society seem trivial to me.
8 I’m fascinated by technology.

d6 Ideal
1 Nature. I grew up in the wild and I’ll do anything to preserve my first home. (Neutral)
2 Freedom. I never fit into society and I have found the only way to be content is to express myself without regard
for rules. (Chaotic)
3 Learning. Ever since I discovered the humanoid world I have felt an unending desire to learn more about myself
and the world around me. There are so many wonderful new things I have been exposed to. (Any)
4 Harmony. I think of myself as an ambassador between the wild and civilization. This comes with the responsibility
of balancing the needs of people and animals for the mutual good of everyone. (Good)
5 Dominance. I worked to be dominant in the group of animals I grew up with and now I want to work to exert my
dominance in humanoid society. (Evil)
6 Friendship. Relationships matter to me more than ideals or material goods. (Neutral)

d6 Bond
1 Somebody hurt my animal family and they will pay for it.
2 I want to discover where I came from and who my birth parents are.
3 I feel a deep connection to the wild and want to protect it from destruction.
4 I fell in love with one of the humanoids who discovered me and I want to impress them.
5 I feel a deep bond to my animal family.
6 I want to see as much of the world or the humanoid world as I can.

d6 Flaw

6 I have deep anger and hold long grudges towards those who harm animals or animals from the species that raised
me.

Hooded Figure
You are a mysterious figure, with a robe and hood covering your features. You might have been a cultist who made a
regrettable deal with a demon, a victim of a horrible attack by a dragon, or perhaps you were framed for a crime that you
had not truly committed, requiring you to hide your identity. Those who do their best to permanently hide who they are
typically are ones who would prefer to not be noticed, but they end up with the opposite happening. Hooded figures might
enjoy telling others small bits about themselves, to keep them guessing, or possibly make up a false identity and adopt it.
For what reason did you decide to hide your face from others, and why was it so serious that you might almost never show
it? How did you handle those who already knew who you are, so they would not give your identity away? Were you the
cause of whatever made you want to hide yourself, or did somebody-or something-else make it happen? And what made
you decide that adventuring would be the best course of action for you to take? Did you believe that adventuring could help
fix whatever it was that wronged you? Were you hoping it could allow you to run away from those who you might be hiding
your features from? Or were you just tired of hiding and doing nothing, and hoped that it might take your mind off of
whatever you're hiding from?

Skill Proficiencies: Sleight of Hand and Deception

Tool Proficiencies: One musical instrument
Languages: Choose one exotic language (Abyssal, Celestial, Deep Speech, Draconic, Infernal, Primordial, Sylvan, or
Undercommon)
Equipment: One dark robe with a hood that covers your face in darkness when you wear it, a set of dark common clothes,
and a belt pouch containing 10 gp.

Past
Not everyone who chooses to conceal their identity has the same origins, some may have been criminals in the past, or feel
horrible about their past.

d6 Specialization
1 Cultist. You were a cultist in the past, worshiping some terrible demon, god, or being.
2 Assassin. You are a reformed assassin, and took out targets for monetary gain.
3 Mercenary. You were a mercenary, fighting for whichever side had the most money.
4 Summoner. You had attempted-or succeeded-in summoning dark beings, and might even be trying to hunt them
down.
5 False Criminal. Despite never having commit crimes before, you were convicted or accused of a crime you had no
part in.
6 Shamed Murderer. You had killed somebody you had no intention of killing, and now are hiding because of it.

Feature: Eyes of Crime

Due to your mysterious and dark appearance, as well as any potential rumors surfacing about you, many criminal
organizations will be willing to house you, and only you, at a comfortable lifestyle, provided you do some favors or jobs for
them. If you are openly convicted for a crime that an organization is not able or unwilling to cover up, they will cut all ties
with you until your name is cleared.

Alternate Feature: On the Run

You were falsely convicted of a crime, causing some guards to be very suspicious of you. However, due to this, some
people that know the truth-or at least think they do-may be willing to offer you shelter, at a comfortable lifestyle. If you are
convicted for a crime, and the person believes you are a criminal, than they will not be willing to shelter you, and may even
turn you into the authorities.

Lost Civilization
You come from a legendary realm, a place filled with magic or technology unknown to the outer world. You grew up
around alien creatures, lived in a city of glass and steel, and used artifacts that most people consider impossible. Whether
you abandoned your homeland by choice or necessity, you may never find your way back.

Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, and History

Tool Proficiencies: One type of exotic musical instrument
Languages: One of your choice
Equipment: A walking staff, a necklace or other family heirloom of unusual metal, a set of traveler’s clothes, and a belt
pouch containing 20 gp of coin from your homeland

Feature: Stranger in a Strange Land

Your origin grants you celebrity status. You attract the curiosity of commoners, nobles, sages, and fools alike, but not all of
this attention is benevolent. When you seek audience with an individual of note, such as a famous wizard or local noble, you
can mention your place of origin to entice their interest and earn an invitation. Often, they may offer advice and knowledge
in trade for stories about your homeland. If you need a larger favor, your host may demand something exceptional in return,
such as technological secrets or a magic item from your realm.

Suggested Characteristics
A citizen from a Lost Civilization feels misplaced and disconnected from the outer world. Because they grew up in such a
different setting, their distinctiveness goes beyond strange clothing and a foreign accent. When interacting with locals, their
unfamiliarity with customs, traditions, and superstitions often confuses people or angers them.

d4 Personality Trait
1 Everything I discover in this new world fascinates or horrifies me.
2 I won’t let my ignorance hinder my curiosity, even if it upsets someone.
3 No matter how hard I try to fit in, I alienate everyone around me.

4 Generosity. I possess skills unknown to this world. Honor and duty require me to share these talents. (Good)

d4 Bond
1 I will find a way back home, even if it takes a lifetime and costs a fortune.
2 My people intend to conquer the outer world. I can’t let them succeed.
3 I must discover who abducted me from my realm and why.
4 I stole a piece of forbidden technology. It tells me to learn its secrets before its owners find me.

d4 Flaw
1 My inexperience with local customs and traditions often gets me into trouble.
2 When stressed, I speak in cryptic metaphors that no one understands.
3 I feel superior to everyone around me, but I hold them blameless for their ignorance.
4 This land is not my home, and it will never be my home, no matter how long I remain stuck here.

Mercenary
As a mercenary, your services were for hire to anyone who could afford them. What drove you to be a soldier of fortune?
Was it to escape poverty? Was it the thrill of battle? Or was it simply that fighting was all you knew growing up? Who was
your mercenary company, or did you work alone? What made you give it up, or are you still for hire? Did you make any
allies or enemies along the way? What wars or battles were involved in? What were the consequences? Lost allies? War
crime charges?

Skill Proficiencies: Intimidation, Perception

Tool Proficiencies: One type of gaming set, Vehicles (land)
 Equipment: Proof of the first contract you completed, a set of common clothes, one gaming set of choice, belt pouch
containing 10 gp

Feature: Hired Blade

You are a soldier of fortune, a fighter who sells his services to the highest bidder. You roam towns and cities in search of a
place where your unique set of talents are useful; whether for a lord hunting a group of bandits, or a local barkeep tired of
the goblin infestation in his cellar, you can always find some work if you look hard enough. The job itself should not matter
much for a person like you, at least that is what others believe. Therefore, other less admirable and shunned upon jobs
sometimes arrives at your lap, giving you the choice and the problem of figuring a way to compromise between your ethics
and your job.

Suggested Characteristics
You are a mercenary who hunted down your employer's enemies for coin. Were you happy in this life? What made you
leave it behind to become an adventurer? Did you leave it at all, or is adventuring just another way of putting food on the
table?

d8 Personality Trait

5 I seek to protect something of great importance to me by keeping it a secret, so you better forget what you just
heard.
6 I never disrespect an employer, if they never disrespect me or stop giving me money.

d6 Flaw
1 I'll do anything for coin, damn the consequences.
2 As much as I pretend to love fighting, I secretly hate hurting others.
3 I have crippling debts that my work barely pays it off.
4 I never fail at my tasks, even if I have to resort to less honourable means to complete them.
5 I would send an innocent to face his death if it means I will win the fight.
6 Someone powerful would do anything to have my head, so I seek to gain his or her head first.

Medium
By magic, psionics, communing with spirits or otherwise, there are special people who have a sixth sense. These people
sense things invisible to most others. As a mystic do you see your power as a curse rather than a gift? Are you able to
control your power or does it happen randomly? Is it given to you by a greater power or did these powers develop over
time?

an air of nobility around them, despite not always being of noble blood. this is due to a mixture of trained discipline and
