Hello everyone! Welcome back to my background series (if you haven’t checked our other backgrounds you can do it so by clicking on 5e backgrounds list and today we’re going to be taking a look at wildspacer 5e background. And it is found in the Spelljamer: Adventures in Space – Astral Adventurer’s Guide.

So without any further ado guys, let’s get started today’s blog post. Let’s begin with its description first. So the description reads as followed:
Description
You were being raised in a void of wildspace – which is home to many asteroid miners, moon farmers, and other hardy folk. So probably you grew up in the far-flung settlement which is like the Rock of Bral, or else you’ve spent your beginning years on a crew of a spelljamming ship, that is performing helpful chores such as swabbing the deck, loading and offloading cargo, and scraping barnacles off the hull.
So whatever your history was, the life in the wildspace has been toughened you so well which you’re as brave as a miniature giant space hamster whenever it comes to facing the terrors and other challenges of the airless night. You can also check out this astral drifter background 5e.
