New Background - Retired Adventurer

[Jimbro]

Not all adventurers need to be spring chickens. I like the idea of a retired adventurer gone soft from years of retirement, or losing abilities in an accident, or through some other supernatural means (like a warlock and patron breaking their pact) who has to get back into it and relearn the tricks of the trade. To that end I created a Retired Adventurer background. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Good job. I think I would make the tool proficiency "Choose any one tool or skill proficiency" to reflect your past career.

Oh that's a great idea!

This is totally excellent!

Of all the original 5e backgrounds I've read, this is the first one where I can read it and say, "Yes, I've seen characters with that background for years and years!" This should be in the PHB.

"De-powered magic user" and "apostate cleric" could even be their own backgrounds.
