A Dwarf with gray skin and purple eyes strikes at a nearby gelatinous cube, his staff reinforced with the raw magical energy in the air around him. He then makes sure the cube can't use his retreat against him before taking a few steps back dragging his Shinobi allies along with. Suddenly, the two of them are on a cliff previously twenty feet above them, allowing the Shinobi to dive down, plunging her sword into the gelatinous cube and finishing it off.<br> | A Dwarf with gray skin and purple eyes strikes at a nearby gelatinous cube, his staff reinforced with the raw magical energy in the air around him.

All of these adventurers have one thing in common: they are all Travelers. Suffused with the desire to travel the world for any number of reasons, these adventurers learn to be hardy, well rounded, and rely on their friends when their own strength would fail them, to excel in all of their adventures.<br> | All of these adventurers have one thing in common: they are all Travelers.

To most, a Traveler could seem mundane and boring, but a true Traveler is far from it.

After traveling the world, has gained a knack for magic via a sort of osmosis with the magic suffused in the world around them. With this knack for magic and the hardiness gained from traveling so far and for so long, Travelers pick up a myriad of Spells to assist them and their allies. Travelers also have a natural well of stamina to draw on that makes them excellent warriors in combat, relying on their allies as well as their own strength to deal earth-shattering blows.<br> | ||
In addition to all of the prior, the true mark of a Traveler is generalization, being the second-best at everything, akin to Bards in many ways. The Strength of Travelers comes from the fact that they're good, but not great, at everything, and gain further strength while surrounded by the friends they made along way.<br> | |||
Not every journeyman or wanderer is a Traveler, but anyone can become a Traveler. Due to the Traveler's nature and their source of power, the only true thing someone needs to become a Traveler is a strong will, the ability to persevere, and a hardy enough body to travel. Because of this, many have gained the starting strength of Travelers without feeling the call to adventure.<br> | |||
To a true Traveler, the most important things in life are the open trail and the friends they've taken under their care and began to rely upon. Those friends are often other adventurers that also drive them to their adventure. A true Traveler is never alone, but is bonding, teaching, learning from, and protecting those they deem their allies as they travel through the wilderness finding new sights and adventure. | |||
