Your parents come from different walks of life. Choose another ancestry and gain it's benefits.

Born with specific markings or having had survived a strange event of circumstance in your youth, you are fabled and revered by all flying creatures.

Legends of you and your nature spread far and wide, affecting those around you like a breezy bluster. Gain Advantage on Influence checks when you make a show of power or skill that can be attributed to the wind.

Despite the innately lofty aspects of your culture, you feel most at home in simple straits.

Your groundedness gives you keen insight into navigating terrain. Should you come across any obstacle that requires you to climb or otherwise ascend, you always find a way around at ground-level.

Ambushing, stealing, bullying. It's routine, at this point. But now, you leave that life behind.

Your old practices let you get through hard-to-navigate locals with ease, and you know every back alley. (1/Day) You can automatically succeed at a check requiring navigation, or take a shortcut to travel twice as fast from one destination to another.

You speak Goblin natively (much better than one who has learned it later in life).

You automatically notice and can avoid crudely-made traps and have advantage to notice and disarm more sophisticated traps.

Change It Up! You can choose any other ancestry to be raised by instead, and exchange the known language and get 1 helpful/iconic ability those people would inculcate (e.g., Dwarves know Dwarvish and are very good with smithing or stonecraft).

Advantage on checks to know or obtain gossip for events that will soon happen or have happened less than 1 year ago.

You are haunted by voices that occasionally give you cryptic advice. The voices are sometimes VERY helpful. Other times they only want to see you suffer.

Advantage against fear.

You are in frequent contact with people in the segment of society that your chosen quarries move through. These people might be associated with the criminal underworld, the rough-and-tumble folk of the streets, or members of high society. This connection comes in the form of a contact in any city you visit, a person who provides information about the people and places of the local area.

You have always been fascinated by other cultures, from the most ancient and primeval lost lands to the most modern civilizations. By studying other cultures' customs, philosophies, laws, rituals, religious beliefs, languages, and art, you have learned how tribes, empires, and all forms of society in between craft their own destinies and doom. This knowledge came to you not only through books and scrolls, but also through firsthand observation—by visiting far-flung settlements and exploring local histories and customs.

You can communicate with humanoids who don't speak any language you know. You must observe the humanoids interacting with one another for at least 1 day, after which you learn a handful of important words, expressions, and gestures - enough to communicate on a rudimentary level.

You're probably to young to be adventuring. Are you a runaway? An urchin? Has your destiny come too soon?

Your size is decreased by 1 instance down to a minimum of Small. You only gain Skill Points when leveling up for every even level (2, 4, 6, etc.). Your neutral saves become Advantaged saves.
