Animal Protector in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Animal Protector
You have a caring nature when it comes to the world of animals and beasts. Any animal magical or otherwise, acting out of instinct is not to be blamed by its actions.
You like to be around the natural inhabitants of the environment, whether to observe or interact with them.
A set of artisan’s tools (one of your choice), a dagger for cutting creatures loose, a lasso for use when calming creatures, a set of custom clothes that blend into the area you come from and a pouch containing 10 gp.
Defining Event
You used to have a simple job among the common folk, maybe as a farmer, shepherd, woodcutter, servant, forager or any other harmless profession. But one day something occurred that put you on a path of protection of the creatures of nature.

Feature: Simple Living
Because you come from a simple upbringing, you fit in with the common people who live from day to day and do honorable work to survive. You can find a place to rest, recuperate or hide among the common people unless you see dangerous. They will protect you from anyone looking for you be it the law or other entities unless their lives are in danger.
An animal protector has a rare connection to the animal world. They look at this connection as a good thing, and not a disadvantage, and nature will always be important to them, no matter how far they get.
