Variant Hermit: Friar
You felt called to join the friars, a contemplative order of
The Great Church. You spent your life on the road, living in poverty, and dependent on the charity of others. Each town you visited, you made sure to stop at the church to offer prayers and receive shelter for a time before moving on to spread the faith wherever you went. Your experiences broadened your mind as you saw much of the world.
If you choose to join the friars, you start with a holy symbol instead of the scroll case stuffed with notes. You can also choose the Wanderer feature from the Outlander background instead of the Discovery feature.
Variant Soldier: Churchguard
You joined the churchguard, one of the many orders of
The Great Church. You and your fellow members were tasked with protecting one of the many churches found across the world against the myriad enemies of the faith. Much of your time spent in that service involved standing guard, protecting the clergy, and training in the arts of battle. While not especially glorious, you knew you were doing the gods’ work by protecting their holy houses.
If you choose to have joined the churchguard, you gain proficiency in Perception and Religion instead of proficiency in one type of gaming set and vehicles (land). As well, you have the churchguard uniform and holy symbol instead of a trophy taken from a fallen enemy and the set of dice or deck of cards.
