== | == Sailor == | ||
Runeterra is a world of over 12 seas, and trade routes have existed long enough that no one remembers what it was like before. While ships are extremely important, few ships can navigate on their own. Sailors are seafarers, living their lives one port at a time. How did you become a sailor? What kind of vessel do you crew? What are your goals in the air and on land? Is there a port where you cannot dock? What is your relationship with the captain and the rest of the crew? | |||

=== Feature: Friendly Breeze === | |||
You know the crew of one or more ships and have a good relationship with them. Whenever they are in the same port city as you, you can arrange free passage for yourself and your companions, as long as you pay for the passage with services on board. Additionally, you have advantage on Athletics checks related to swimming. | |||

== Mercenary == | |||
As a mercenary, your services were for hire to anyone who could pay for them. What drove you to become a soldier of fortune? Was it to escape poverty? Was it the thrill of battle? Or was it simply that fighting was all you knew growing up? Who was your mercenary company or did you work alone? What made you quit or are you still hired? Did you make any allies or enemies along the way? What wars or battles were you involved in? What were the consequences? Lost allies? War crime charges? | |||

''' | |||
=== Feature: Hired Blade === | |||
You are a soldier of fortune, a fighter who sells his services to the highest bidder. You roam towns and cities in search of a place where your unique set of talents will be useful; whether it’s for a lord hunting down a bandit group, or a captain tired of the infestation of scavengers on his deck, you can always find work if you look hard enough. The work itself shouldn’t matter much to a person like you, or so others believe. So other, less admirable and shunned jobs sometimes fall into your lap, leaving you with the choice and the problem of figuring out a compromise between your ethics and your work. | |||

== Orphan == | |||
= | |||
Whether you knew your parents or not is not the point. The point here is, how did you survive growing up without them? You had to struggle and make ends meet on the streets, you had to fight day to day to survive, perhaps alone or perhaps with friends. Who are you? What happened to your parents? Who did you grow up with and how did you manage to avoid becoming just a statistic? What are your aspirations and your connections to the streets you grew up on? | |||

''' | |||
=== Characteristics: Cunning === | |||
You know the secrets of the streets where you grew up, all the hidden passages and secret places. You have advantage on Stealth and Perception in the area where you grew up. You and your allies have double the movement speed in the area where you grew up, as long as you are guiding and the party is not engaged in combat. Additionally, you have advantage on any check made to haggle for a mundane item. | |||

== Pirate == | |||
= | |||
Pirates roam the seas in disorganized groups, taking treasure from just about anyone they can. What led you to piracy? Did you volunteer for the job, or were you forced into it when your ship was raided? Were you the captain of the ship, or just another member of the crew? Did you leave your ship for good, or are you still connected to this world? If you did, why? | |||

=== Feature: Ahoy, Pardner! === | |||
You have spent years on the open seas, and therefore know how to steer and operate a ship. You are also familiar with several port cities around the world, and have learned from experience what customs are acceptable in the port cities you know. It is easier for you to buy a ship than it is for other people, and you have an advantage in any haggling test to buy a seaworthy vessel. When you are in a friendly port city with which you are on good terms, you may find refuge with certain people; they will hide you if it is safe, but they will not risk their lives for you. | |||

You and your allies may petition a temple, shrine, or other sacred site of your faith for help or healing. You may also petition those who share your faith to grant you temporary shelter, covering the costs of a modest lifestyle. Alternatively, you may be directly associated with a specific temple or shrine of your faith, and have permanent shelter there. This location, provided you have good relations with it, may be where you came from, grew up, or found a home there. While you are near this location, you may petition its faithful or priests for help, as long as you do not put them in any position of risk. | |||

== | == Soldier == | ||
Fortunately or unfortunately, war is a constant in Runeterra. Fortunately, because the threats are not always human, unfortunately, because they are almost always against your neighbor, and death lurks on all sides. What do you fight for? What is your cause and why is it just enough for you to take the lives of others? What is your belief in your army and your command? Do you follow your duties and obey your hierarchy? | |||

Every story has a beginning. Your characters' Past reveal where they came from, how they became adventurers, and their place in the world. Your combatant may have been a brave knight or a veteran soldier. Your arcane may have been a sage or an artist. Your mercurial perhaps joined a thieves' guild or entertained the public as a buffoon.
Choosing a Past brings with it some characteristics, in some you have access to a craft Proficiency, in others you may even have some additional equipment.
Furthermore, every Past brings its own characteristic, something that is common to those who choose that past, it could be an ease in carrying out some type of action, it could be specific knowledge of something, among many other options. When you choose a past, you are defining a little of your personality and giving special importance to a certain moment in your life, something that shaped your way of thinking and acting.
When examining your story, you may have more than one past that fits into it, such as a Soldier who becomes a Gambler, but well before that he was an Aristocrat, however you should choose only one Past per character, it will be the most important past and the character will only receive the benefits from it.
Wanderer
The silence of being far from society, the breeze and the calm of nature. The life of a Wanderer is spent in contemplation and meditation, having wandered through several villages, cities or even continents. Getting to know and learning about new cultures and customs, a wanderer is a restless soul who cannot find a place to settle. The motivation for this situation can have several origins, from deep self-contemplation to contemplation of the world, but it can also be a war survivor, among many other options.
If you don't have a story in mind, you can use the table below to draw a reason for your Seclusion.
Origin of Seclusion | |
---|---|
d6 | Origin |
1 | I was in search of spiritual enlightenment. |
2 | I was participating in communal life according to the dictates of a religious order. |
3 | I withdrew from society after a life-changing event. |
4 | I needed a quiet place to work on my art, writing, music or manifesto. |
5 | I needed to commune with nature, away from civilization. |
6 | I was searching for a person, place or relic of great spiritual significance |
Skill: Nature and Survival
Craft: Apothecary
Languages: A common language of your choice
Equipment: A parchment case filled with notes from your studies and prayers, a winter blanket, a set of common clothes, an herbalism kit, and 5 gp
Feature: Knowledge of the Wind
Due to your restless nature, you have heard a little bit of everything, and you know many rumors that circulate throughout Runeterra. Once per long rest, when you need to recall information, you can roll the test with advantage. However, if you roll a die lower than 10, you will not be able to tell whether the memory you recalled is a rumor or a fact.
Gambler
The clatter of dice rolling on a wooden table, the soft rattle of a deck of cards, the pings and clinks of gold coins hitting the table: These sounds are like an angelic symphony to you. Win or lose, you are drawn to the game like a bee to flowers. Are you the type who constantly bluffs, or the type who doesn't know what a poker face is? Do you spend your nights raking in large sums of gold? Or do you barely scrape by with your winnings? And most importantly, what is your favorite game? Dice, cards, chariot racing? Or are you the type who will try anything to win gold? No matter your preference, the fact remains; you are a gambler, and you have come to play.
Skills: Deception and Persuasion
Craft: Player of two types of Games
Equipment: A set of dice, playing cards, a set of fine clothes, and a pouch containing 5 gp
Feature: Let's Make Things Interesting
You can convince anyone to put something they are unwilling to share (property or information) into a game of chance. Your GM might decide that they will only agree to a game of their choosing, and they can only agree if they feel the odds are heavily in their favor.
Aristocrat
You were raised among nobility or were taught proper etiquette and behavior, allowing you to present yourself as a noble and play with influence and politics. Regardless of your opinions or attitudes, you are recognized in your region because of your ancestry. People tend to think the best or worst of you because of your family, whether they hate you for the deeds of a member of your house or admire you for being related to a war hero.
Skills: History and Persuasion
Craft: Player of a type of Game
Languages: A common language of your choice
Equipment: A set of fine clothes, a signet ring, a scroll of lineage, and a pouch containing 25 gp
Feature: Royal Intincts
Due to your origins, you can tell when someone is trying to flatter you or when someone is lying to you. Whenever you make an Insight check to detect a lie, you do so with advantage. You also have advantage on History checks to recall knowledge of a Noble family in your region.
Craftsman
The heat of the forge, the pride in the fine details of a piece of jewelry, countless books with immeasurable knowledge on the shelves, these are all visions and sensations that can exist in the life of an artisan, who can range from a cartographer to a brewer, from a scribe to a blacksmith. There are dozens of professions that involve an artisan, from the least valued to the most common. An artisan usually has a passion for his specialty, producing his products with love and dedication, but often he does so simply for fame, glory and of course… money.
If you don't have a specialty in mind, you can use the Craftsman Specialty table to draw one.
Craftsman Specialty | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
d20 | Specialty | d20 | Specialty | |
1 | Alchemist or apothecary | 11 | Leatherworker, furrier or tanner | |
2 | Gunsmith, locksmith or toolmaker | 12 | Mason or carpenter | |
3 | Brewer, distiller or winemaker | 13 | Painter, designer, draftsman | |
4 | Calligrapher, scribe or scrivener | 14 | Oleiro ou telheiro | |
5 | Carpenter or builder | 15 | Shipowner or sailboat | |
6 | Cartographer, surveyor or draftsman | 16 | Blacksmith or smith | |
7 | Mender or shoemaker | 17 | Tinker, coppersmith or welder | |
8 | Cook or baker | 18 | Charioteer or wheelwright | |
9 | Glassblower or sculptor | 19 | Weaver or dyer | |
10 | Jeweler or lapidary | 20 | Carver, cooper or bow maker |
Skills: Intuition and Persuasion
Craft: A Major Office of your choice
Languages: A common language of your choice
Equipment: A set of artisan's tools (your choice), a business card, a set of traveler's clothes, and a pouch containing 15 gp
Feature: Business Contacts
As a person active in local business, you have acquired a certain reputation for the quality of your products and even the empathy of some important figures in society. When you sell your work to someone in the region where you are known, you can receive double the money from these sales. Alternatively, you can ask for shelter and food from business partners with whom you have a good relationship. If your master allows it, you can have one of these contacts in a region other than your own.
Artist
Coins fill pockets, wine quenches thirst, and food lines the stomach… but art feeds the soul. Artists exist all over Runeterra under the most diverse banners and sponsorships, especially in regions with fuller coffers and more generous sponsors. What is your art? What is your theme? Why did you pursue this life? What is your relationship with other artists?
A good artist is versatile, spicing up each performance with a variety of different routines. Choose one to three routines, or scroll through the table below, to define your artistic specialties.
Area of Activity | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
d10 | Specialty | d10 | Specialty | |
1 | Acrobat | 6 | Narrator | |
2 | Actor | 7 | Poet | |
3 | Singer | 8 | Instrumentalist | |
4 | Dancer | 9 | Writer | |
5 | Fire eater | 10 | Painter |
Skills: Acrobatics and Performance
Craft: Artist in a discipline of your choice
Equipment: A musical instrument (of your choice), a gift from an admirer (a love letter, lock of hair, or a piece of jewelry), a costume, and a pouch containing 15 gp
Feature: Silver Tongue
Your charisma and control of the audience make it easier for you to please an audience and convince local business owners and some nobles that it would be advantageous to let you perform at their venue. You have a +5 bonus on all Performance checks. Additionally, if you perform well enough for the venue owner, he may offer you a meal and a place to stay.
Charlatan
Maybe you do it because you have a talent for it and don't want to have a normal job, maybe you do it because you think the world is unfair and your skill is a social equalizer, or maybe you do it because you really don't care about people. The fact is, you have an undeniable charm and experience in persuading and deceiving. Knowing how to convince a citizen to buy ordinary oil as if it were some miracle cure, or infiltrating the most powerful people in the city to discover their secrets so you can blackmail them later.
Skills: Deception and Sleight of Hand
Craft: Artist: Makeup Artist and Forger
Equipment: A set of fine clothes, a makeup case, cheating tools of your choice (ten stoppered bottles filled with colored liquids, a set of loaded dice, a deck of marked cards, or a signet ring from an imaginary duke), and a pouch containing 15 gp.
Feature: Cheater
You can read people's backgrounds like the back of your hand, knowing where they came from, their financial status, and even whether they're in need just by looking at their facial expressions and the way they dress. You have advantage on Deception and Insight checks against a person as long as you've spent at least 1 minute observing them, and you can also substitute Persuasion checks for Deception checks.
Creation
Unlike other living, sentient beings, you were not born, but were created through some process, for some purpose, or by some event. Perhaps you are a construct created to aid an inventor, perhaps you were an animal that acquired consciousness and anthropomorphic traits, or perhaps you are a rock that gained consciousness when struck by a magical bolt of lightning. Thanks to this unique condition, you possess traits that are different from other living creatures in existence.
Typically, Creations have a quirk when they are created, if you don't have an idea for one, you can use the Creation Quirks table to draw one.
Creation Quirks | |
---|---|
d6 | Quirk |
1 | You have a mark from the laboratory that created you or something related to the process that brought you into existence |
2 | You don't know how to distinguish emotions, you may even understand some, but you have difficulty assimilating their many nuances |
3 | You are terrified by memories of a war or a very violent natural process, and you cannot get memories of violence out of your mind |
4 | You get angry very easily, about anything, your emotions are always out of control and maybe a little exaggerated |
5 | Metal is strong, flesh is weak. It is the natural state of evolution, that which is weak must perish. Join the glorious evolution |
6 | You don't know how to lie, or maybe you do, but very poorly. Or maybe you even know how to lie well, but you don't feel comfortable doing it. |
Skills: Two skills of your choice, usually tied to your creator
Craft: A craft of your choice, usually linked to your creator
Languages: A common language of your choice, usually linked to its creator
Equipment: A set of common clothes given to you by your creator, a set of tools for self-repair (spare parts, hammer, nails, screws, etc.) a pouch containing 1 GP
Feature: Created
You are something out of the ordinary, a product of science and an affront to nature, or even a product of nature and an affront to science, and as such, certain beings perceive your unnatural existence. Because of this, your mind does not give in in the same way that many others do, and you have an advantage on tests to resist Intimidation, either because you do not understand the threats or because you do not care about them.
Criminal
Your criminal past may haunt or satisfy you to this day. You had to find a way to survive in this cruel world for those who are not born privileged. A criminal gang gave you the chance to prove yourself and become one of them, or they offered you an absurd amount of money in exchange for dirty work, whatever happened, you got a taste for it and continued in the life of crime for many years.
Criminal Specialty | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
d8 | Specialty | d8 | Specialty | |
1 | Serial killer | 5 | Blackmailer | |
2 | Hitman | 6 | Pack mule | |
3 | Robber | 7 | Smuggler | |
4 | Beater | 8 | Fraudster |
Skills: Deception and Stealth
Craft: Player of a type of Game, Locksmith
Equipment: A crowbar, a set of dark common clothes with a hood, and a pouch containing 15 gp
Feature: On the Margin
You often receive contact from your old life, bringing you new opportunities or even information about local events. If you still have good relations with your former employers, you may have contacts in the cities where they have “business”, giving you information when needed, or even a little smuggling of weapons or poisons.
Unknown
Your past is unknown to you because you suffered some trauma that left you with amnesia. You woke up one day, not knowing who you are or how you got here. Your origins and family are a mystery to you. You are unsure whether you have allies or enemies from your past. If you have abilities beyond the training details of your class, you strive to summon them.
Who cared for you while you recovered? Were your class skills taught to you after your trauma, or are you slowly remembering them from your past? Do you have flashbacks or dreams hinting at your ordeal?
When you woke up as an amnesiac, you discovered something about yourself that might provide a clue to what happened to you. Roll a d6 on the Clues to the Past table.
Clues from the Past | ||
---|---|---|
d6 | Clue | Example |
1 | A tattoo | You have an unusual tattoo on your arm, depicting a strange building, part of a map or Gnostic symbols |
2 | A curious wound | There is a long scar on your face and head, recently healed. |
3 | Something hidden in you | There was a key sewn under the skin of his belly |
4 | A personalized piece of jewelry | Clasped in your hand was a medallion, on which was a portrait of a young lady or gentleman. |
5 | A punishment | Your little finger was cut off and is missing. |
6 | You were found in an unusual place | You woke up on the shore of the beach, washed up on the beach |
Skills and Languages: Special. Whenever you attempt to use a skill, craft, or attempt to comprehend a language in which you are not proficient, roll a d20. On a natural 20, you have recalled one of your pre-traumatic talents and gained that proficiency; otherwise, you must finish a long rest before you can check for the same proficiency again. Once you have regained 5 proficiencies, you no longer make this check.
Equipment: Just a change of clothes you are wearing and 1 gp in your boots.
Feature: Gradual Memory
Each time you meet a new NPC or visit a new location, once per character level, you can decide to make it feel familiar. This place or person is somehow related to your life leading up to the trauma that caused your amnesia. This won’t reveal much information, but it will provide some additional clues. You should work with your DM to fit this new element into your backstory, with the goal of providing full disclosure by mid-3rd level.
Level 1–4: The NPC happens to recognize you, but doesn't know you. They remember you doing some act, such as talking to a mysterious figure (and hearing some words), buying an item from a shop, or being involved in a fight.
Locations can be places you have only visited once or that you passed on your way to somewhere else.
Level 5–8: The NPC knows you only by a nom de guerre and a bit about what happened to you, but is evasive about giving you information. If forced to talk, they will give you only a hint before circumstances end the interrogation (they simply escape, or they are in a position of power, or a violent storm rocks the boat). Locations could be taverns or dungeons you have frequented.
Level 9-12: The NPC has been directly involved with your trauma and knows your true identity. Some conflict must be resolved before their relationship with you is fully understood: This could be a combat encounter or a request made by them.
A location could be your family home, your workplace, your secret hideout, or some other place that is very personal to you and that reveals your identity through investigation.
This feature can draw you into involvement with secret societies, nobility, evil armies, hidden temples, and other intrigues. Once you have full recollection of your life and trauma, one of these story elements can be used to create a new background feature to replace Gradual Memory.

Your fighting style has made you a successful gladiator, or at least good enough to keep you alive. The coliseum is in your blood now, the events that have transpired, the memories you replay in your dreams, and your experiences have become you.

Maybe you have a quirky mind, capable of noticing patterns and making accurate inferences. Maybe you’re just a paranoid person who has accumulated a lot of seemingly useless information and can make brilliant connections between them, like how long it takes for a pan to cool down or how quickly a man performs his basic needs. Investigators collect, connect, and measure information, constructing events or discovering what they’ve tried to hide.
If you don't know what area you work in, you can use the table below to draw one.

Sailor
Runeterra is a world of over 12 seas, and trade routes have existed long enough that no one remembers what it was like before. While ships are extremely important, few ships can navigate on their own. Sailors are seafarers, living their lives one port at a time. How did you become a sailor? What kind of vessel do you crew? What are your goals in the air and on land? Is there a port where you cannot dock? What is your relationship with the captain and the rest of the crew?
Skills: Athletics and Perception
Craft: Choose between Guide (Navigator) and Guide (Pilot)
Equipment: A chili pepper (club), 45 feet of silk rope, a lucky charm such as a rabbit's foot or a small stone with a hole in the center, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp

Whenever they are in the same port city as you, you can arrange free passage for yourself and your companions, as long as you pay for the passage with services on board. Additionally, you have advantage on Athletics checks related to swimming.
Mercenary
As a mercenary, your services were for hire to anyone who could pay for them. What drove you to become a soldier of fortune? Was it to escape poverty? Was it the thrill of battle? Or was it simply that fighting was all you knew growing up? Who was your mercenary company or did you work alone? What made you quit or are you still hired? Did you make any allies or enemies along the way? What wars or battles were you involved in? What were the consequences? Lost allies? War crime charges?
Skills: Intimidation and Perception
Craft: Player of one type of Game, Guide (Pilot)
Equipment: A proof of the first contract you completed, a set of common clothes, a set of games of your choice, a pouch containing 10 gp
Feature: Hired Blade
You are a soldier of fortune, a fighter who sells his services to the highest bidder. You roam towns and cities in search of a place where your unique set of talents will be useful; whether it’s for a lord hunting down a bandit group, or a captain tired of the infestation of scavengers on his deck, you can always find work if you look hard enough. The work itself shouldn’t matter much to a person like you, or so others believe. So other, less admirable and shunned jobs sometimes fall into your lap, leaving you with the choice and the problem of figuring out a compromise between your ethics and your work.
Orphan
Whether you knew your parents or not is not the point. The point here is, how did you survive growing up without them? You had to struggle and make ends meet on the streets, you had to fight day to day to survive, perhaps alone or perhaps with friends. Who are you? What happened to your parents? Who did you grow up with and how did you manage to avoid becoming just a statistic? What are your aspirations and your connections to the streets you grew up on?
Skills: Stealth and Sleight of Hand
Craft: Artist: Makeup Artist, Locksmith
Equipment: A small knife, a map of the town you grew up in, a pet rat, a small object to remember your parents by, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp

You and your allies have double the movement speed in the area where you grew up, as long as you are guiding and the party is not engaged in combat. Additionally, you have advantage on any check made to haggle for a mundane item.
Pirate
Pirates roam the seas in disorganized groups, taking treasure from just about anyone they can. What led you to piracy? Did you volunteer for the job, or were you forced into it when your ship was raided? Were you the captain of the ship, or just another member of the crew? Did you leave your ship for good, or are you still connected to this world? If you did, why?

Optional Equipment: Wooden leg, hook, eye patch, pipe and tobacco (with flint and iron for lighting), straw, flute, parrot (maybe as familiar)
Feature: Ahoy, Pardner!
You have spent years on the open seas, and therefore know how to steer and operate a ship. You are also familiar with several port cities around the world, and have learned from experience what customs are acceptable in the port cities you know. It is easier for you to buy a ship than it is for other people, and you have an advantage in any haggling test to buy a seaworthy vessel. When you are in a friendly port city with which you are on good terms, you may find refuge with certain people; they will hide you if it is safe, but they will not risk their lives for you.
Religious
You have a strong belief in something or someone, whether it be a deity, a concept, or even a philosophy. You are guided by this belief and firmly believe that it will bring positive change to the world around you, and you feel obligated to proclaim this good news. What is your belief? Where did it originate? How receptive is it to differing beliefs? How does it relate to other faiths?
Skills: Intuition and Religion
Languages: Two common languages of your choice
Equipment: A holy symbol, a prayer book or prayer bead, 5 incense sticks, ceremonial vestments, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 15 gp
Feature: Faith Empathy
Having a religious background, you hold the favor of those who share your faith, and may attend and perform ceremonies for those you worship. You and your allies may petition a temple, shrine, or other sacred site of your faith for help or healing. You may also petition those who share your faith to grant you temporary shelter, covering the costs of a modest lifestyle. Alternatively, you may be directly associated with a specific temple or shrine of your faith, and have permanent shelter there. This location, provided you have good relations with it, may be where you came from, grew up, or found a home there. While you are near this location, you may petition its faithful or priests for help, as long as you do not put them in any position of risk.
Soldier
Fortunately or unfortunately, war is a constant in Runeterra. Fortunately, because the threats are not always human, unfortunately, because they are almost always against your neighbor, and death lurks on all sides. What do you fight for? What is your cause and why is it just enough for you to take the lives of others? What is your belief in your army and your command? Do you follow your duties and obey your hierarchy?

In addition, you have the ability to intimidate those who have a lower rank than you.
