Waste Walker

Growing up evading mutants, wild magic, and worse in one of the world's harshest wastelands teaches survival few others could match.

Granted Features
Automatic:
Foraging know-how turns a shaky day of subsisting into reliable food for you and a growing circle of companions as your skill improves.
Wilderness know-how keeps a character fed and oriented in the wild, and turns a faint trail into a set of tracks worth following.

Whether you grew up in the Mana Wastes, the deserts of northern Garund, or another similarly desolate place, you quickly learned that only the strong survive. You and your family were forced to evade monsters, mutants, wild magic, and worse, as each new day heralded the possibility of a danger or threat you'd never seen before. You learned to adapt to the worst possible conditions and how to forage and survive in a place few others would dare to live.

Choose two attribute boosts. One boost must be to Strength or Wisdom, and one is a free attribute boost.

You're trained in the Survival skill, and Mana Wastes Lore (or another similar Lore skill associated with the wastes where you grew up). You gain the skill feat.
