Hermit
About this class
Whether guarding wild groves, or tending pristine gardens, to wandering the untamed hillside and beyond, hermits are those that have dedicated their lives to living amongst and understanding the flow of the natural world. Some might practice their craft in the wild, living seperate from society, but it isn’t unheard of for hermits living within city parks or castle gardens to mantain the balance between mortals advancement and the natural order.

BLESSED BARRIER
Once per long rest, you are able to take some time to perform a ritual and bless a small area around yourself to create a barrier that extends to Close range. Should anyone cross this barrier, you are instantly alerted if they are an ally or not. The barrier lasts until your next rest, you take severe damage or leave its radius.
-
FOREWARNING
You can read the subtle changes in your environment and the mood of nearby animals to understand when danger is ahead.
Once per scene. whenever the GM spends a Fear to make a GM move, you can mark a Stress to predict that move.
The GM describes what is about to happen, then choose either you or an ally to make one action before that can occur. If you chose an ally, they roll with disadvantage.
Whatever the result, the spotlight returns to the GM at the end of that action.
Class items
- A small potted plant
- a wooden whistle that makes no noise.
