Description
You were raised far from civilization, in the untamed wilderness that many dare not tread. Your upbringing taught you the laws of the land, which are much different from the laws of society. Whether you hail from the depths of a dense forest, the expanses of a desert, or the heights of a mountain range, you know how to survive and thrive away from the comforts of a settled life.
Suggested Characteristics
Wildlings are often seen as uncivilized and rough around the edges by those from more structured societies. They value freedom and natural balance over laws and artificial order.
Wild Instincts
Your senses are incredibly sharp, honed by years of living off the land. You can find food and fresh water for yourself and up to five other people each day, provided that the land offers such resources (berries, small game, water, etc.). You can also navigate through difficult terrain at your normal speed.
