Very deliberate in everything they do, people born under the Sign of the Basilisk are defined by their wary, independent outlooks on life. Those born under it often anticipate the worst, yet this skepticism grants them sharp foresight and practical judgment.

Stubborn and immovable in their convictions, they are slow to change their minds, and grudges may persist for years. While their aloofness can keep others at a distance, their tenacity, problem-solving skills, and common sense make them reliable in any crises.

Ability Scores. The following changes are made to your ability scores: +2 Wisdom, +1 Constitution, -1 Intelligence, -1 Charisma

Ideal Career. Individuals of the Sign of the Basilisk tend to lean toward roles that reward caution and decisive action such as judges, executioners, sentinels, wardens, and assassins. Possessing a commanding presence and a gaze that unnerves others, you gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill. If already proficient, you instead add double your proficiency bonus to checks made with it.

Keen Judgement. Naturally skeptical and discerning, you gain proficiency in the Insight skill. If already proficient, you instead gain advantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks made to assess the intentions of others.

Birthstone - Ruby. Ruby is associated with strength, protection, and steadfastness. While wearing or carrying a ruby worth at least 10 gp, you gain advantage on saving throws against transmutation effects or spells.
