Adherent
Before you began adventuring, you committed yourself to a faith, belief, or cause. The exacting tasks required of this commitment—daily prayers, holy rites, or cryptic ceremonies—instilled in you a sense of duty and purpose.
Perhaps you were a hopeful inductee into the war god’s clergy, a priest excommunicated from a fiend-worshipping sect, or a lifelong member of a secret society with global reach. In any case, you still carry the teachings and traditions of your devotion.
Choose two from History, Investigation, Religion, or Persuasion.
Gain proficiency with artist’s tools and an additional tool of your choice.
A prayer book or ceremonial dagger, a holy symbol, a block of fragrant incense, vestments, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp.
You devoted yourself to an array of highly specific tasks and teachings known only to your order, each of which demanded mental and emotional precision. Choose a talent from this list to represent your experience: Field Medic, Mental Fortitude, or Ritualist.
Many adherents don’t stray far from the object of their devotion. Those who roam often do so for reasons specific to their order. When you begin your adventures, consider what tempted—or perhaps called—your character to step into the unknown.
