Tales of the Valiant Players Guide (pg. 122)

Outcast

You spent your life surviving on scraps and taking what you could. Living on the streets sometimes left you on the wrong side of the law, but you were instilled with skills to survive, overcome, and prosper.

Perhaps you were an urchin chased from your stomping grounds, a pickpocket who tried to make ends meet, or a bandit who left the life, wanting to make amends. Whatever your circumstances, the thrills and misfortunes of life outside polite society will never leave you.


Skill Proficiences:

Choose two from Deception, Insight, Sleight of Hand, or Stealth.


Additional Proficiences or Languages:

You gain proficiency with one type of game set and one of the following: charlatan’s tools, herbalism tools, or thieves’ tools.


Equipment:

A dark cloak and a set of dark, common clothes, a silver coin given to you by a kind stranger, and a pouch containing 10 gp.


Talent:

You developed skills and physical abilities to survive on the streets. Choose a talent from this list to represent your experience: Aware, Opportunist, or Quick.


Adventuring Motivation:

Outcasts like you are familiar with the hardships adventurers face, but think about how your own history of hardship shapes your relationships and reasons to travel to unfamiliar places. When you begin your adventures, consider why your character chose—or was forced—to leave an unglamorous, but safe routine for a life of exploration and bravura.
