{"name":"Cannibal Headhunters","overview":"[justify]You hail from a tribe that thrives far from civilized lands. Unlike other outlander settlements, your people hold to ancient ideals and traditions that others find deeply unsettling. You believe the consumption of sentient flesh brings insight, power, and guidance from the spirits. The ancestors of your tribe taught that knowledge and power gained in life suffuses the body, and that the tribe must keep that power within its own ranks. The funeral rites of your people involve consumption of the deceased. During times of warfare, some tribes devour their fallen foes in a similar ritual to take the strength and power from their vanquished foes. Cannibal headhunters always carry at least one totem bone from a previous ritual meal, and many wear elaborate tattoos signifying their gathered power.[\/justify]","skillproficiences":"Intimidation, Survival","toolproficiences":"Cook\u2019s utensils","lifestyle":"","languages":"One of your choice","equipment":"[justify]A set of cook\u2019s utensils, a carved humanoid bone totem, a set of traveler\u2019s clothes, a hunting trap, and a pouch containing 5gp[\/justify]","features":"[justify][b]Grim Feast:[\/b]\r\n[br][\/justify][justify]Whether as a funeral rite to honor fallen family and comrades, or as spoils of war or sacred hunts, you ritually consume a portion of slain humanoid bodies. Civilized people view this practice as taboo and horrific, and they are easily unsettled. While this unease can bring unwanted complications within urban or other civilized settings, you gain a measure of power and presence from your devotion that other savage, primitive, or tribal cultures esteem. When you present either your ritual practice or a direct result of it, such as your bone totem, to an intelligent creature with any kind of tribal or savage bent, your power affords you the chance to talk rather than fight. Orcs, gnolls, goblins, and other tribal warlike races might offer you respect and allow you the chance to sway them through talk (and Intimidation) rather than trying to kill you on sight. Additionally, you can engage in your rituals over the course of one day to gain inspiration.[\/justify]","suggestedcharacteristics":"[justify]While unsettling to those who don\u2019t share their practices, cannibal headhunters fit a variety of types. All hold their rituals sacred, though the personal reasons behind their devotion vary. Some seek power to better themselves and their communities. Others seek dominion over all other creatures, and they believe they consume spirit and strength along with flesh.[\/justify]","traits":"[roll:1d8]|Personality Traits\r\n1|I\u2019m always hungry and never turn down a bite to eat.\r\n2|I expect others to adhere to their traditions as firmly as I do.\r\n3|I enjoy the discomfort the truth of my beliefs causes in others.\r\n4|Life among nonbelievers has made me self\u2011conscious about my rituals.\r\n5|I always proudly display my totem bones.\r\n6|My totems are sacred, and I won\u2019t allow outsiders to touch them.\r\n7|I\u2019m oblivious to how my appearance and beliefs come across to outsiders.\r\n8|I take the time to show respect to anything I kill.","ideal":"[roll:1d6]|Ideal\r\n1|[b]Tradition.[\/b] My ancestors gave me prosperity.
