Scavengers are the ultimate survivors. Self sufficient and self reliant, Scavengers are usually welcomed wherever they go for the opportunities of trade, news, and gossip, and because its rare to find a settlement that couldn’t use a competent extra hand. However, they are rarely trusted for being outsiders, unknown elements... and who really knows what they do to survive out in the wilderness?
Those who follow the path of the Scavenger exist on the fringes of civilisation, ready to move on at a moment’s notice, trusting only themselves and few others, looking for the next find, next job, that will keep them going.

The Scavenger skills reflect a character that has spent most of their life away from civilisation. These characters are survivors, learning to rely on themselves or their close comrades. Inspiration may come from characters such as Billy from Predator, Rangers from The Lord of the Rings, Eli from The Book of Eli or Robert Neville from I Am Legend.
