Outlander¶
Source: 2014 Player's Handbook (5e 2014).
You grew up in the wilds, far from civilization and the comforts of town and technology. You've witnessed the migration of herds larger than forests, survived weather more extreme than any city-dweller could comprehend, and enjoyed the solitude of being the only thinking creature for miles in any direction. The wilds are in your blood, whether you were a nomad, an explorer, a recluse, a hunter-gatherer, or even a marauder. Even in places where you don't know the specific features of the terrain, you know the ways of the wild. Source: Player's Handbook

Personality Traits d8 Personality Trait 1 I'm driven by a wanderlust that led me away from home. 2 I watch over my friends as if they were a litter of newborn pups. 3 I once ran twenty-five miles without stopping to warn my clan of an approaching orc horde. I'd do it again if I had to. 4 I have a lesson for every situation drawn from observing nature. 5 I place no stock in wealthy or well-mannered folk. Money manners won't save you from a hungry owlbear. 6 I'm always picking things up absently fiddling with them and sometimes accidentally breaking them. 7 I feel far more comfortable around animals than people. 8 I was in fact raised by wolves.
