Wilder

You are what the majority of Thedas calls a barbarian, a wild person living on the outskirts of civilisation. Perhaps you are Avvar, Chasind, or a Dalish wanderer. Or perhaps you are simply an illiterate bandit, born on the road and destined for a life robbing on the outskirts of society. The clan or group you belonged too would have largely been your entire world, and you have learnt certain skills as you scrambled for survival.

Avvar - You were born to the Avvar, and lived in one of their holds in the Frostback mountain. You may have some experience travelling to the lowlands for trade, but otherwise you lived and worked in the mountains, and know the terrain well. This is a hard upbringing, with emphasis on physical strength and the traditions of your ancestors.

Chasind - Few know of the Chasind, and you may pass for Ferelden in some cases. You grew up in the Korcari wilds, and you have unique knowledge of the trail signs which your people use to leave messages for one another, and point safe routes ahead.

Dalish - You are one of the Dalish, and your clan still lives the way they always have since the fall of the Dales. You are met with suspicion almost everywhere, if not disdain, and your vallaslin (if you have it) marks you out as different.

Proficiencies and Equipment
Skill Proficiencies: Survival and Nature

Equipment: A set of common clothes, a tinderbox, a winter blanket and a waterproof cloak.

Feature: Pathfinder
Thanks to your upbringing, you are skilled at finding a route through difficult and inhospitable terrain, calculating the dangers and expertly avoiding them. You have an eye for landmarks, by which you are able to backtrack successfully to the point you started without becoming lost. This feature does not translate to the urban landscape, which is largely alien to you. In addition, you are an expert at finding food, either by stealing or by foraging. You are able to provide daily food in most settings for up to five people.
