Feature: Friend of the Forest[edit]
As a young boy, you were raised by forest creatures. At least that's what you remember. Either way, you have grown accustomed to the forest and forest to you. Forest creatures like squirrels, rabbits, birds, and other small critters won't flee when they see you. They may also bring you food such as a handful of berries or tree nuts.
Alternate Feature: Hero to all[edit]
Should you have a heroic nature, having a good alignment, then you may have noticed that people like you and the work you do. As a reward for your good deeds, citizens may offer you aid in providing a bed to sleep or a good hot meal.
