Traveler
\pagebreakNum ### Traveler The Traveler is a quick adaptable class that goes with the flow. When you make this class think of a wandering traveler with their trusty ally. The soul bound ally is a part of your soul mixing it with the energy of the planes to power your abilities and your bond. That bond and power you manifest to tackle every challenge that comes befotre you as you travel and keep the planes safe from extra planar threats. The soul bound and you train as you unleash your potential making a bond through your journey and trials. You strive to be able to take on whatever obstacles comes before them using their smarts and surge to reach every corner of every plane. --- ### The Traveler: Wandering Soul, Boundless Spirit The Traveler is more than just an adventurer; they are a seeker of truths, a wanderer drawn to the unknown, and a master of adaptation. Rooted in the desire to uncover what lies beyond the horizon, Travelers are guided by curiosity and a unique connection to the planes—a bond forged with their Soulbound Ally, a living extension of their very essence. This bond empowers them to overcome challenges, traverse planes, and explore the ever-expanding tapestry of existence. ***Philosophy of the Traveler*** Travelers believe that life is an endless journey, one where the destination is less important than the path taken. To them, every obstacle is an opportunity to grow, every failure a lesson, and every success a step closer to understanding the multiverse’s infinite mysteries. For a Traveler, stagnation is the greatest enemy. They constantly strive to adapt, evolve, and move forward, their experiences shaping both themselves and their Soulbound Ally. Whether facing towering beasts, unraveling planar secrets, or navigating treacherous terrain, the Traveler embodies resilience, ingenuity, and the unyielding spirit of exploration. --- ***The Soulbound Ally*** At the heart of the Traveler’s abilities lies their Soulbound Ally, a mystical companion that is as much a part of them as their own heart. Formed from a shard of their soul and infused with the raw energy of the planes, the Soulbound Ally is a reflection of the Traveler’s personality, experiences, and choices. A Unique Companion: The Soulbound Ally can take many forms, from a loyal beast or a glowing elemental to a mechanical construct or a spectral being. Its appearance and abilities evolve as the Traveler grows, mirroring their journey and the planes they have encountered. A Bond Forged in Trials: The connection between the Traveler and their ally is more than just practical—it’s deeply personal. They share thoughts, emotions, and even power, their bond strengthening as they face challenges together. The Soulbound Ally is more than a tool; it’s a companion, a guide, and a reflection of the Traveler’s potential. It represents their ability to reach beyond themselves and embrace the energy of the multiverse. --- ***Traveling the Planes*** Travelers are deeply attuned to the planes, able to draw upon their energies to gain unique advantages. This connection makes them highly adaptable, granting them the ability to tailor their skills to suit any situation. Planar Resonance: A Traveler feels the pull of the planes in their very being, channeling their energy into combat techniques, survival strategies, and even magic-like abilities. By resonating with a plane, they can manifest its traits: the destructive fury of the Elemental Planes, the ethereal grace of the Astral Plane, or the shadowy stealth of the Shadowfell. Seamless Adaptation: A Traveler’s strength lies in their versatility. They can switch between their planar abilities with ease enabling them to adapt to new challenges with ease. This makes them invaluable in unpredictable situations where preparation is impossible. --- ***Traits of a Traveler*** Resourceful Problem-Solvers: Travelers are masters of thinking on their feet. Whether it’s using their environment to gain an edge in combat or leveraging their knowledge to decipher ancient puzzles, they thrive in situations that require quick thinking. Eternal Students: With an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Travelers are natural learners, picking up skills, languages, and cultural insights as they journey. They are just as likely to be found poring over old tomes in a forgotten library as they are navigating perilous terrain. Unbreakable Bonds: The Traveler’s relationship with their Soulbound Ally is central to their identity. This bond provides strength in battle, guidance in times of doubt, and a source of unparalleled power when the Traveler calls upon it. Planar Adventurers: Travelers are uniquely suited to navigating the multiverse. They can step between planes, harness their energy, and even draw upon their mysteries to overcome obstacles. This connection to the planes makes them fearless explorers, unafraid to tread where others dare not go. --- ***The Journey of a Traveler*** Every Traveler’s story is one of growth, discovery, and transformation. They begin as wanderers, eager to explore the world and beyond, but their adventures quickly reveal a deeper purpose: to unlock the secrets of the planes and their own potential. As they travel, they are shaped by the experiences they encounter, their bond with their Soulbound Ally growing ever stronger. With each trial, they become more attuned to the multiverse, their abilities and understanding expanding in ways they never thought possible. In the end, the Traveler is not just an adventurer—they are a beacon of adaptability, a master of planar energy, and a living testament to the power of curiosity and resilience. --- \pagebreakNum

Her life changed forever when a demon tore through a planar rift in her home, threatening her family. In a moment of desperation, a dormant power awakened within her, channeling the planar energy coursing through her veins. With a crack of her whip, she struck the demon, saving her children but exposing her family to a world of danger. Now, she lives aboard a small, temperamental airship with her husband, a skilled artificer who builds weapons and devices to combat planar threats. The couple is bound by love and a shared mission to protect their children and others from creatures of the planes. Every time a planar threat arises, Seraphina is torn between staying to protect her children or fighting to ensure no family suffers as hers did. Her whip, imbued with planar energy, grows more potent with each battle, but so does the toll on her body and spirit. Themes: Motherhood and Heroism: Balancing the instinct to nurture with the duty to fight. Love and Sacrifice: A family united in their mission but strained by the constant danger. Planar Mystery: Unraveling the origins of her power and the reason her family is targeted. The Tabaxi: The Silent Hunter Name: Shadow-of-Twilight ("Shadow") Story: Born in a bustling trade city plagued by mysterious disappearances, Shadow grew up in the alleys and rooftops, honing his stealth and observation skills. When planar creatures started to prey on the town’s citizens, Shadow discovered his unique ability to sense disruptions in the fabric of reality. With no formal training, he taught himself to hunt these beings, using his innate agility and cunning. Shadow’s life is a constant battle in the shadows. By day, he blends into the crowds, gathering information and aiding those in need. By night, he tracks planar creatures and seals the rifts that allow them entry. His tools, crafted with care and precision, are a mix of ancient Tabaxi craftsmanship and planar-infused magic. He rarely speaks of his past, but rumors hint at a lost family or tribe taken by planar predators. His quest is not just about protecting his city—it’s about finding those responsible and exacting revenge. Themes: Isolation and Belonging: The lonely path of a protector who operates unseen. Revenge vs. Duty: Struggling between personal vengeance and the greater good. Mystery: The search for the source of planar rifts and the beings behind them. \columnbreak The Elven Scientist: The Planar Explorer Name: Aelindra Faewyn Story: Aelindra was always a curious soul, born into a scholarly elven community that revered the mysteries of the planes. From an early age, she excelled in arcane studies, surpassing her peers and drawing the attention of planar scholars. Her groundbreaking research on planar energy led her to develop a device capable of safely traveling between planes—a feat thought impossible. Now, Aelindra wanders the multiverse, collecting samples, documenting ecosystems, and uncovering the secrets of planar mechanics. Her work is driven by a desire to understand the universe’s interconnected nature and prevent the collapse of the barriers between planes. But her journey is fraught with danger. Planar predators, rogue factions exploiting planar energy, and the mental toll of existing between worlds constantly test her resolve. Her intellect and determination are her greatest tools, but her compassion and sense of wonder set her apart from other scholars. Themes: Knowledge and Responsibility: Balancing discovery with the ethical implications of her research. Wanderlust and Loneliness: The sacrifices of a life devoted to exploration. Planar Ethics: Encountering civilizations or beings with conflicting views on planar travel and manipulation. Shared Stories Act 1: The Gathering Storm A series of planar rifts opens across the region, releasing powerful demons and destabilizing reality. Seraphina encounters Shadow while hunting a planar creature threatening a village. Though wary of each other, they team up to close the rift. Aelindra, investigating the same phenomenon, arrives with a prototype stabilizer. The three join forces, realizing the rifts are connected to a larger conspiracy. ***Act 2: The Conspiracy Unveiled *** Their investigations reveal a shadowy faction exploiting planar energy to create weapons and summon planar beings for profit and power. Seraphina struggles with her role, torn between fighting and ensuring her family’s safety. Shadow grapples with his thirst for revenge as the faction’s leader is linked to his past. Aelindra faces the ethical dilemma of destroying the technology she loves to save the planes. Act 3: The Final Rift The team confronts the faction at a massive planar rift threatening to consume their world. Each character’s unique abilities are crucial in sealing the rift and defeating the faction. In the aftermath, Seraphina decides to continue her fight, Shadow finds solace in his new allies, and Aelindra embarks on a new journey, inspired by their bravery. \pagebreak ***Authors notes*** This class is very adaptable they are designed to be swift and adaptable to the situation getting their powers from the planes themselves. It is implied that the people that become this class and then subclass may hail from certain planes but I don't see that is necessary and should be adjusted between players and DM to fit the story. \pagebreak
