Backstory:
Tungo is a guide in the land of the Shielding. His last job ended with him in pursuit of a pack of marauding gnolls. The vile dog-folk had ambushed his party and slaughtered all his clients late one night high in the Spine Ridge Mountains. The merchants had promised to pay Tungo handsomely for his service as a guide along their trek. The route was treacherous, high in the mountains, where the stars are most easily seen to align.

In the thick of battle, Tungo was cornered by a five gnolls along a ravine. He was pushed over the side, managing to take 3 of the gnolls with him, as they tumbled into a stream of icy water.

He awoke hours later, nearly frozen on the river's edge. Wasting little precious time, Tungo hiked back to the camp, but all the others of his party laid slain, the bodies looted. Tungo managed to track the gnolls down to the valley...

Tungo is up and ready to hew enemies with his greataxe.

He had 10 gp leftover from his background, which I promptly spent on a metal shield. Now he can hide under his shield and hurl javelins before he gets in close.

Backstory forthcoming... I envision he comes from a region of high steppes and mountains. His people are tribal and he is a guide in those land. The goliaths are pretty low in the Ordning, the giant's totem pole hierarchy. I'd like to incorporate some of that lore into his backstory, but I am open to input from the GM.

Matt, my guy needs an additional language gained from his Outlander background. Suggestions?

I am confused about proficiencies. My character only has 4 (2 from class and 2 from bg). Should I have more? How did you get 8?

I rolled a 9 on the zodiac feats table: Skilled. The Skilled feat gives you proficiency in 3 additional skills. Goliath race is proficient in Athletics. 2 more from class, and 2 from bg... so yeah, he's a skill monkey

more like a skilla gorilla

Got it.  Switching to rogue. Will perhaps multi class with ranger. . Skullky!

Cool Alan, rogues can step it up in this edition. I really like the Cunning Action ability.

I really liked my cyber-rogue, he was very capable in all phases of the game

I liked him too. Would love to reboot that setting again...

He was 3rd level, I believe. 5e is actually pretty lethal for 1st and 2nd level toons.

The Goliaths who inhabit The Shielding dare not pass beyond its boundary, for sure as would anyone else, they would be overrun by Devil and Angel alike.

Those who live there (all that remain of a fierce nomadic people?) migrate between a series of camps and caves, and guard those who travel between the communities within. Unlike the Genasi who have settled into their "cities" safe behind additional wards, the Goliath live beneath the sky and relish battle with the occasional Devil who slips past The Shielding wards in the night. They also come into frequent clash with the Gnollish tribes who drift into the domain from the northeast.

Tungo is an up-and-coming warrior among his people, known for his savagery in battle and bravery when faced with danger. He is familiar with most of The Shielding, and can navigate it well.

ok cool
