Traveler
Travelers are considered the most well-rounded and good-at-anything class almost all the time, and they show proficiency in a wide variety of areas without really specializing too much.
Those who consider themselves true travelers must be ready to face or tackle any manner of challenges in their adventures, and they strive to be ready for as many scenarios as possible. Their primary goal for traveling can vary greatly, but the common denominator for all travelers is a desire to get out there and go places, whether it be to learn new spells, acquire new skills and items, or to just see new sights.

Jack of All Trades
Starting at 1st level, you can add half your proficiency bonus, rounded down, to any ability check you make that doesn't already include your proficiency bonus.
Burst of Stamina
As someone who has done a lot of traveling, also at 1st level, you have a high level of stamina that you can pull on from time to time. You can push on when most would have their strength fail them, gaining the following abilities:
- As a Bonus Action you can gain 2d4 + your Strength modifier temporary hit points. These last for 1 hour.
- As a Bonus Action you can take the Dash, Dodge, Grapple, Help, or Shove actions.
- When you make a Strength or Constitution Check or Saving Throw you can gain advantage on the roll.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining expended uses at the end of a long rest.
Good Samaritan
At 2nd level, you gain advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to find wounded creatures and also to find threats within 60ft of wounded creatures.
Additionally, you can cast the Cure Wounds spell at 1st level using Wisdom as your Spellcasting Ability once per long rest.
As you gain levels in this class you can cast the spell additional times.
- At 6th level, you can cast this spell once at 1st and 2nd level each.
- At 12th level, you can cast this spell once at 1st, 2nd, and 3rd level each.
- At 18th level, you can cast this spell once at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th level each.
Traveler Style
At 2nd level, you develop a signature technique of journeying that sets you apart from other travelers. Choose one of the traveler methods detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 2nd level and again at 5th, 10th, and 18th level.
Welcome Aid
At 3rd level, while Travelers are more than capable of fighting competently on their own, they often welcome the aid of teammates to make their own work even more effective.
When you hit on a Weapon Attack Roll, if there is an allied creature within 10ft of you that is not Unconscious, you may roll your weapon's damage die an additional time and add it to the damage roll.
At 8th, 13th, and 18th level, you roll your weapon's damage die an additional time and add it to the damage roll.
Traveler’s Luck
At 3rd level, you’re just plain lucky sometimes. Once per long rest, you can automatically turn a failed roll into a success.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one Ability Score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two Ability Scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. Alternatively, you can take a Feat instead of taking this increase to Ability Scores.
Well-Rounded
When you reach 5th level, and again at 9th, 13th, and 18th level, you gain proficiency in one skill proficiency of your choice and any combination of two skills, languages, tools, or weapons of your choice.
Magical Experience
While you are certainly no magic user yourself, you’ve seen many instances of magic in your travels and have picked up a trick or two. At 7th level, you can pick any two cantrips from any spell list that you can learn. However, these cantrips must be ones that you have seen used in your travels or ones that it makes sense for you to know.
For example, if you knew a druid once and he used the Druidcraft frequently, you could learn that cantrip, but if you had never met a bard before in your life and wanted to learn the Vicious Mockery cantrip, then you would not be able to learn it. The DM can help in determining whether a cantrip is available to you or not.
