Racer

Background
sourceEC
New in SW5eThink of it as a road-warrior background: you excel at terrain and map-reading, moving your group more quickly over long distances and spotting shortcuts that trim travel time; some shortcuts may be risky or impassable at the GM's call.✨

You have a need for speed. You live off of the adrenaline rush of piloting your craft or steering your beast through the dangers of a race. You love the thrill of a photo-finish and relish the sweet taste of victory.

Feature: Terrain Mastery. You have a preternatural instinct for understanding the terrain, interpreting maps, and planning routes. You and your party can move at three-fourths your speed over difficult terrain during long-distance travel. Because of these skills, if you know your destination and the intervening terrain--either by reputation, by sight, or by maps you have seen--you are able to identify an effective short-cut, trimming your travel time by up to half. Your GM may rule that your short-cut entails significant danger or may be temporarily impassable.

Skill Proficiencies. Choose two from Animal Handling, Nature, Piloting, and Technology

Racers are usually competitive and often fearless. They can lead a whirlwind of a life, and sometimes the adrenaline of the race is no longer enough for them.
