Made this for a Monk/rogue character I'm thinking up. Tell me what you think.
Background:
Shinobi (slightly tweaked criminal)
You have been raised deep in seclusion amongst your secretive clan. Since childhood rigorous training in stealth, agility, hand to hand combat, and traditional techniques of illusion and deception have rendered you all but a shadow to the rest of the world. Though you have moral flexibility as to right and wrong, you follow your own self set code with absolute diligence believing in only yourself and very few others.
Skill proficiencies: Stealth, and Deception or Acrobatics
Tool proficiencies: disguise kit, poisoners kit
Equipment: a length of rope with a grapple hook, A set of dark common clothes including a hood, and a pouch with 2 smoke bombs
Shinobi specialty:
The secretive Clans of these ancient assassins are few but varied among the lands of faerun. As such each clan shows expertise in maneuvering quickly and unnoticed in their local domain. choose your preferred terrain type of choice or roll on the Table below. You can move in this terrain at full speed regardless of difficulty:
-Tundra
-Arctic
-Coast
-Desert
-Forest
-Grassland
-Mountain
-Swamp
-Underdark
Feature: Clan Master
The master of your clan is a formidable and terrible force. They are the ancient holder of all clan secrets and among the initiated of the clan his word is law. He may call upon his subjects as his own whim. And will reward loyalty accordingly through information, power, or wealth.
Suggested Characteristics:
Shinobi follow a varying moral compass. Some value power and knowledge at all costs, while others stick strictly to their code and the codes of their clan. Honor and treachery, light and dark, one will find all qualities in this spectrum throughout the ancient shinobi clans of faerun.
Personality traits:
1. I always have a contingency plan for when things go wrong, and know the escape from any situation.
2. I am always calm, no matter what the situation. I never let my emotions control me.
3. I am incredibly slow to trust, outsiders values and honor cannot be counted upon.
4. I despise those who don’t have the strength to follow their convictions, the frivolous disgust me.
5. I prefer to be alone and only rely on my own strength. I travel with others not by choice.
6. I idolize a hero of my clan, and style my life an honor after his example.
7. I collect information on new people and places compulsively, knowledge is power in my business.
8. I’ve been isolated among the clan for so long I rarely speak to outsiders, preferring gestures and the occasional word.
Ideals:
1. Honor
2. Logic
3. Power
4. Self-perfection
5. Tradition
6. Balance
7. Loyalty
8. Knowledge
Bond:
1. Something important was taken from my clan, I will stop at nothing to return it.
2. I would do anything for the members of my clan and those I trust.
3. My loved one was murdered and I am to avenge them.
4. I Protect those who cannot protect themselves when possible.
5. I have a strong connection to the land I was raised in. I will protect it with lethal resolve.
6. I have a dark secret that I must protect at all costs from my companions and my clan.
Flaw:
1. I am hunted tirelessly by assassins from a rival clan.
2. My mission is everything. Beyond that morals, friendships, and politics mean nothing.
3. I judge others harshly, and myself even more so.
4. Once I set a goal, I become obsessed with it to the detriment of other aspects of my life.
5. I am unable to communicate well with others, and cannot express my feelings well.
4. I am never satisfied with myself and the world around me. I always hunger for more, be it knowledge, perfection, or power.
