Wolf Knight

Hailing from a far land with the great forest you and your clanmates worked vigorously. From protecting your home from unwanted enemies, or going out and taking out the larger threats. You worked together. You have formed bonds, allies, and friends with almost everyone in your clan, and they will help you if need be. But you were set out to help those from other lands and perhaps create a new pack and clan to help those around and keep the values of your former clan alive. Those who are too weak will be killed so as not to bog down the herd, for the wolf is a creature of nature and her laws of survival.
Skill Proficiencies: Intimidation, Perception
Tool Proficiencies: None
Languages: None
Equipment: Small banner of your pack, set of common clothes, a trinket like an amulet or emblem with a wolf symbol, and a pouch of 25 gold pieces.

Feature: Wolf Whisperer

Those who are too weak will be killed so as not to bog down the herd, for the wolf is a creature of nature and her laws of survival. The wolf knight is a warrior who embodies the traits of the wolf animal. Unlike an animal totem barbarian, they are known for having strict codes more akin to that of knights than tribal law. Their coordination in groups encompasses their strongest strengths. Some organizations modeled after such behavior may call themselves wolf knights. Consider your character's origin in relation to this. Were they raised in such an organization? How did they fare with others? While teamwork is the pinnacle, some wolf knights fall short and are ultimately lone wolves. Skill Proficiencies: Intimidation, Perception Equipment: Small banner of your pack, set of common clothes, a trinket like an amulet or emblem with a wolf symbol, and a pouch of 25 gold pieces.
