Mythalkeeper

Mythals are sources of great magical power that can alter the Weave or even the very nature of reality. Most were constructed in antiquity, and many have since been damaged or gone dormant. As a mythalkeeper from the Dalelands, your first experience with a mythal was likely in the ruins of Myth Drannor. You roam Faerûn in search of other ruined places of power, hoping to learn more about the history and powers of mythals—or even restore a malfunctioning one.

A background lists three of your character's ability scores. Increase one by 2 and another one by 1, or increase all three by 1. None of these increases can raise a score above 20.

You gain proficiency with three different Artisan's Tools of your choice. Whenever you buy a nonmagical item, you receive a 20 percent discount on it.

Each background gives a character proficiency with one tool—either a specific tool or one chosen from the Artisan's Tools category.
