UA:Character Background: Wilderness Background

This material is published under the OGL

Wilderness Background

This background is a feature of characters who spend most of their time in the forbidding wilds, far from the comforts of civilization. Because such a character often leads a solitary existence, there's almost no opportunity for recognition. Only a character who undertakes the hunter-gatherer activity has a chance to attain a higher rank (that of chieftain, and it's only attainable once), with ranks in Survival providing a bonus on the recognition check.

gollark: Not very secure, then.
gollark: Generally encryption is considered secure if someone who knows how it works but doesn't have the key can't break it.
gollark: Well, I mean, comparatively easy.
gollark: The limiting factor here is probably your key thing. There are only 4 billion possibilities for that, which is easy.
gollark: So effectively you just have a mildly larger key.
