Traucer (5e Background)
From D&D Wiki

This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: Isn't a traucer some kind of parkourist? Anyway, how is this any different than an outlander or city urchin? This needs more explanation and concept than "you can go through many environments"

Traucer[edit]
You've traversed through numerous types of structures, terrain, and environments for years now, but how did it all start? Were you a poor child, who had to learn how to make off with pieces of stolen bread and meats to survive? A thief who uses their abilities to escape capture by city guards? Or maybe you were an elite guard, who used your unique skillset to apprehend criminals who tried to escape your grasp. No matter how you came to be, what matters now is where you'll go next.
Skill Proficiencies: Acrobatics, Athletics
Tool Proficiencies: Cartographer's Tools
Equipment: a set of Common clothes, a set of Climbing Claws, and a pouch containing 15gp
[edit]
You have a knack for finding different methods of traversal at a glance. As a result, you can find potential hiding spots or methods of escape in any city or town you enter. This also means you know of places common criminals could run and hide to, making you more likely to find unsavory characters when searching.
Alternate Feature: Reliable Courier[edit]
Your ability to travel through a town easily makes it easier for you to take on work delivering small parcels or letters for citizens within a city you're currently in, and even earn a bit of coin while doing it.
