Outlander

You grew up in the wilds, far from civilisation 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.

Equipment

A staff, a hunting trap, a trophy from an animal you killed, a set of traveler’s clothes and a pouch containing 10 gp.
