Executioner
You are a grim figure, known for carrying out the harsh
sentences of the law with precision and impartiality.
Your role is a necessary yet feared one, enforcing justice
through the finality of death. You are accustomed to the
weight of the axe, the noose, or the sword, and the
screams and cries accompanying your duties.
Your life is marked by the cold acceptance of death and
the resolve to carry out your duties without hesitation.
Were you born into this role from a family line of
executioners? Did you train under another executioner?
Or did you take up the mantle out of necessity or
circumstance? No matter the reason, you are an
individual whom people associate with the Grim
Reaper. Your work brings you into close contact with
the condemned, giving you a unique perspective on life,
justice, and mortality, blurring the line between life and
death.
Despite the grim nature of your profession, you are not
without a sense of duty and morality. You may believe in
the justice you administer, see yourself as a necessary
instrument of the law, or harbor doubts and regrets
about your role. Regardless of your personal feelings,
authorities expect you to carry out your duties without
hesitation.
Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Intimidation
Tool Proficiencies: A musical instrument of your choice
Languages: One of your choice

set of tools appropriate to your role, a memento from a
condemned prisoner (such as a ring or letter), and a
pouch containing 22 gp.
Feature: Smell of Death
Through your years as an executioner, you have
developed an almost supernatural sense for death. This
deep connection has granted you an uncanny ability to
sense when death is near. You can intuitively feel when
a place has been used for executions, as the lingering
essence of death calls out to you. Additionally, you
possess an innate sense when someone nearby is close
to dying by unnatural causes. This inexplicable ability
allows you to see signs and omens that others cannot
perceive, giving you subtle warnings of impending death
around you. This sense does not always provide clear
information, but it offers you an invaluable edge in
recognizing danger.

Naturalist
You’re deeply drawn to the natural world, captivated by
its diverse creatures, plants, and mystical phenomena
that flourish throughout your realm. Your days are
immersed in quiet observation, studying the behaviors
of creatures, cataloging plants and herbs, and
deciphering the relationships between mystical energies
and the environment. Your passion for all living things
has become your profession.
As it is reasonable, your expertise extends beyond mere
observation. Through dedicated study, you’ve mastered
herbalism and alchemy, creating potent remedies and
magical elixirs from rare ingredients found only in the
wildest corners of the world. You navigate harsh
terrains with ease, identify magical anomalies, and
communicate with creatures through gestures, sounds,
or even the occasional use of magic.
Motivated by a profound respect for the wonders of
nature, your journey into naturalism may have begun
with stories passed down through generations of your
family. Immersed in journals and practical teachings,
you learned to cherish the delicate balance of nature
from an early age. Alternatively, your path might have
been shaped by a transformative encounter—a meeting
with a wise druid, an ancient creature, or witnessing a
mystical phenomenon—that ignited your unwavering
commitment to uncovering the secrets of the natural
and magical realms.

Nomadic Herdsman
You grew up in expansive landscapes such as plains,

depend on their animals and the art of herding. Guiding
cattle, camels, reindeer, or other livestock, you’ve
embraced the rhythms of the land and seasons as
fundamental to your way of life. As a Nomadic
Herdsman, you possess exceptional skills in animal
care, navigation, and survival, deeply embedded in your
culture and essential for your livelihood.
From an early age, you were trained by experienced
elders to read the land and the skies, discerning the
subtle signs that dictate your movements. Your ability to
find water and shelter in seemingly barren
environments, and to protect your herd from predators
and natural hazards, has made you resilient and
adaptable. Your life in the open, rarely visiting cities or
large settlements, has forged a profound connection
with the natural world and its peace.
Despite the many challenges such a life has, the
freedom of the open land and the bond with your
animals provide a sense of fulfillment and purpose, with
joys that only you can truly understand. Even if you
entrust your herd to another and embark on a journey,
these skills will always follow you, making you a capable
survivor and adept handler of animals.

find food and water sources where others would see

campaigns, or undergoing relentless physical training,
you embrace the ethos of sacrifice and duty without
hesitation. Always ready for war, always ready to kill.
Did you ever feel guilt or remorse for being a killing
machine? This is not a question you ask yourself, as
fighting and dying in battle is considered the peak of
honor and the reason behind your existence. On the
other hand, being accused of cowardice may be even
worse than death for you.
Despite the harshness of your upbringing and the
demands of military life, you take pride in your heritage.

confidence characteristic of your people, always ready

Tax Collector
You are the hand of the law, at least when it comes to
tax collection. Methodical and meticulous, you bear the
responsibility of gathering taxes on behalf of those in
power. Your role is vital for the functioning of society,
ensuring that funds necessary for infrastructure,
defense, and governance are collected efficiently. Your
days are filled with visits to homes and businesses,
assessing taxable wealth and incomes, negotiating with
taxpayers, and maintaining records with utmost
accuracy.
As a tax collector, you have developed a keen
understanding of economics, negotiation, and law.
Through your experiences and studies, you are also able
to advise on financial matters and ensure that tax laws
are enforced justly—or unjustly, depending on your
goals. Your reputation can range from being seen as a
necessary enforcer to a despised figure of authority,
depending on your methods and the fairness of your
dealings, but it is almost impossible to be liked by many
in this kind of job.
There are many reasons someone might choose this
path, but one thing is certain: it is not for everyone. You
must deal with constant criticism and maintain a keen
sense of duty. Your role is to remind everyone of the
saying that in life, only death and taxes are certain—and
you make sure the latter is never forgotten.

Your position as a tax collector grants you a certain

audience with local officials or nobles more easily, as
they recognize you as someone who could become a
significant nuisance.
Additionally, you can access records and documents
related to financial matters that would normally be
restricted to others. People are more likely to cooperate
with you when you mention your official capacity,
allowing you to gather information and influence
decisions that impact tax collection.

Viking Berserker
You are a fierce warrior of the Viking age, known for
your unrelenting ferocity in battle. As a berserker, you
are characterized by the fact that you lose yourself in
combat, entering a trance-like state of fury, becoming an
unstoppable force on the battlefield. Clad in animal
pelts and wielding brutal weapons, you inspire both fear
and admiration among your allies. Your life has been
one of constant raiding and warfare, forging you into a
symbol of primal power and rage. War and raiding are
the only things you know how to do, and you do them
well.
Your experiences have taken you to distant shores and
exposed you to various cultures and their combat
techniques. The bonds formed with your comrades in
battle are unbreakable, forged in the fires of shared
conflict. Despite your fearsome reputation, you have a
deep respect for the gods and the traditions of your
people, which guide your actions both in war and in
times of peace.
Your rage is both a weapon and a curse, giving you
incredible strength—a needed tool to survive in war and
combat—but sometimes clouding your judgment,
leading to bad decisions. You strive to harness this
power, seeking balance between the fury of the
berserker and the accumulated wisdom of a seasoned
warrior.

vulnerable points of a settlement or stronghold, gaining
advantage on checks related to planning raids or finding
weak spots in defenses.
Your harsh life has also made you adept at finding food
and resources during your travels, ensuring your

Zookeper
You are a keeper and trainer of rare and exotic
creatures, entrusted with their care and preservation.
Your days are dedicated to the majestic beasts that have
captured the imaginations of nobles, scholars, and
common folk alike. Whether you manage a royal
menagerie, oversee a sacred wildlife sanctuary in
serene forests, or tend to mystical beasts of legend, your
role is crucial in the lives of these animals.
You feed, groom, train, and observe them, ensuring
their health and well-being. You take pride in creating
enriching environments that mimic their natural
habitats as closely as possible, fostering a sense of
peace and harmony. From majestic lions and cunning
foxes to extremely dangerous creatures like griffons and
owlbears, each animal holds a special place in your
heart and your responsibilities.
You may have a deep bond with a particular animal, a
creature that recognizes you as both friend and
guardian. Your knowledge of animal behavior, herbal
remedies to treat their ailments, and training techniques
makes you a vital resource to those who seek your
expertise and usually it can secure a good payment for
you.
Did you inherit this role from a long line of zookeepers,
learning the trade from your ancestors? Or perhaps you
were pushed toward this direction due to your
unexplainable affinity with animals? Or do you simply
have a huge love for animals and wish to see them well
