Star-Born Wanderer, Variant (5e Background)
|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: This background just straight-up gives a feat and ASI. This isn't exactly 5.5e, so I'm not sure why this is made so powerful for a background. Not to mention the advantage on saves.

This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: Heavily lacking in fluff. This is just a person born under a celestial omen? Describe it. Give examples or options. This is severely lacking for a background.
