Star-Born Wanderer (5e Background)

This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: The tables are unfinished. Also, this could really use a bit more fluff to give it extra difference from something like the official far traveler. Why do you have the tool proficiency you have? What exactly is "star-born"? Were you just born under an omen?

This page is of questionable balance. Reason: This grants you straight-up ASI. Oh, and save advantage :P
