You are a travelling combatant, always on the lookout for

a new challenger. You duel with those who seem

competent enough to push you further. You might use

swords, magic, or even games of chance to test yourself

and your chosen foe. In the end there is nothing more

important to you than proving of your mettle.

Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Intimidation

Tool Proficiencies: One type of gaming set

Languages: One of your choice

Equipment: A token of favor from an admirer (a

handkerchief, flower, or love letter), a set of bone dice or

deck of cards, a set of traveler’s clothes, and a belt pouch

containing 12 gp

Your reputation and bearing as a duelist compels others to

accept your challenges. So long as you offer them a duel

while outside of combat, most NPCs who are not utterly

outclassed by your Level are willing to have a go with

you one-on-one, without the help of their companions or

bodyguards. Foes are usually willing to duel until first

blood, but some are even up for a fight to

unconsciousness or death, particularly if you’ve really

angered them.

Duelists are defined by their need for adventure, a

challenge, and the freedom to roam the world in search of

these things. They value the ability to do things their own

way and often have a past which reflects escape from a

stiflingly rigid situation. Yet they see the duel as a pure

expression of skill, and highly revere fairness in such

competitions.

You are a special kind of vagabond, one who spreads

wisdom and foreknowledge to those who seek comfort in

this world. Bearing omens and advice, you are born for

the open road, constantly in danger of angering those to

whom you’ve dispensed truth. You must always look for

new horizons, bringing a little insight into the workings

of the cosmos wherever you wander.

Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Performance

Tool Proficiencies: Fortune telling tools

Languages: One of your choice

Equipment: A mule, a set of fortune telling tools (cards,

dice, tea leaves, etc.), a set of common or costume

clothes, and a belt pouch containing 5 gp

Once per day you may attempt to use your fortune telling

tools to determine the near future of someone who has

come to you for advice. You learn vague impressions of

this future, such as danger, love, loss, or betrayal. You

may even use this Feature to discover your own future.

Alternatively, you may use this Feature to give your own

Inspiration to another PC, while doing a reading for them.

Fortune Tellers live lives that are intertwined with fate.

They understand that everyone has a role to play in the

future, and usually come to accept their own. This

acceptance leads them to a kind of serenity in the face of

danger, with the ability to act quickly when their

supposed destiny presents itself.

two.

family. (Lawful)

worth seeing. (Any)

submitting to no authority but your own.

(Chaotic)

is foolish. (Neutral)

d6 Flaw

that of the party.

want to hear.

6 I often lie to authority figures and would never

come to them with a problem.

You are a devout adherent of a particular god or faith,

proving such by journeying to places of importance for

your religion. Through conviction and grit you will come

to see the locations most celebrated by your people.

Along the way you’ll likely get into adventures, the better

to test your devotion.

Skill Proficiencies: History, Religion

Languages: Two of your choice

Equipment: A holy symbol, a set of common clothes,

and an alms box containing 15 gp

You know a number of routes, points of interest, and

places to stay along the way to various religious sites

throughout the known world. You can usually find cheap

lodging, shortcut roads, and other useful advantages when

on a journey, so long as you are somewhat near a

pilgrimage site for your religion. Sometimes you even

know bits of trivia about the area, usually relating to your

god.

Pilgrims are defined by their devotion and take pains to

prove it. At the same time they are sightseeing tourists,

initially along for the thrill of adventure and the supposed

importance of their holy journey. They are a strange mix

of thrill-seeker and pious devotee.

d8 Personality Trait

1 I have seen many strange things on my journeys

and enjoy telling tales.

few possessions.

3 It’s important for me to spread the word of my

cultures.

4 I believe my god speaks to me in my dreams.

5 Though I seem pious, I often break my vows

when tempted.

revelry or unnecessary violence.

7 No one is more devout than me. No one.

8 I’m not actually all that devout; I’m just out here

for the adventure or in order to escape my family.

d6 Ideal

1 Courage. Sometimes you must do what must be

done, no matter the consequences. (Chaotic)

2 Expansion. You must make sure your god is the

most powerful one, revered at many sites. (Evil)

3 Generosity. Others should benefit from the

fruits of your blessings. (Good)

4 Humility. One must hold themselves to the

highest standards before judging others. (Neutral)

5 Tradition. We have a place in the continuity of

history and we should honor the past. (Lawful)

6 Wonderment. The world is full of inspiring sites

and moments of incredible beauty. Find them.

(Any)

d6 Bond

1 I will visit every major pilgrimage site my people

hold dear.

You are an explorer, route finder, and cartographer for

your nation, people, or merchant company. You’ve spent

time trekking out into the world to find unexplored

regions and unknown peoples. You’re someone who

loves being first to see or do something, and your attitude

helps to find safe passage for those who follow in your

footsteps.

Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, Perception

tools

Equipment: Cartographer’s tools, navigator’s tools, a

map case, a map of the local region, a set of traveler’s

clothes, and a belt pouch containing 10 gp

You are capable of plotting a route to nearly any

destination, no matter how remote. If you’ve heard of it,

you can find a way to get there. The more obscure the

location however, the more likely it is your journey will

take you through dangerous regions.

Trail Blazers are defined by their adventurous,

exploratory attitudes. No location is too remote; no

danger too great. This doesn’t mean they don’t take

precautions on a journey, but it does mean they’re usually

up for anything that sounds exciting.

d8 Personality Trait

1 I love to be the first in the room, first out the

door, first watch, etc.

2 I’ve seen so many places that they all blend

together for me now.

3 I often attempt to speak languages I don’t know.

new places.

and well-known.

deal in trade.

after a great deal of work.

or map a route so that others may come this way

more easily.

3 I’ve seen something amazing and I’ll never tell a

soul about it.

4 I will always support the druids and rangers of

the world.

5 The cultures I find should be dealt with equitably,

not exploitatively.

encounter.

d6 Flaw

2 I under-plan every endeavor.

3 I am overly loyal to the merchant company I

work for.

4 I leave a trail of markers wherever I go, making

me easy to track.

5 I “go native” whenever I encounter a new people,

adopting their ways.

6 I often underestimate the amount of time it takes

to get somewhere.

A seeker of fortunes, mostly lost and hidden in the ruined

places of the world, you are bravely greedy. You’re

undeterred by such things as traps, curses, and eternal

servitors and as often as not you solve the mind bending

riddles and puzzles that block your passage.

Skill Proficiencies: Investigation, History

Tool Proficiencies: Thieves’ tools

Languages: One of your choice (usually an ancient

language)

Equipment: Thieves’ tools, a grappling hook, 50 feet of

hempen rope, a set of traveler’s clothes, and a belt pouch

containing 10 gp

You are a master of solving puzzles, cryptograms, and

mathematical problems. Whenever you are faced with a

logic-based task barring your ability to proceed in a

dungeon or other treasure site, you may ask your DM a

single yes or no question about the nature of the problem,

and they must answer. This question cannot be so

specific that it would ruin the puzzle, but it can be one

that eliminates a number of possibilities or leads you

directly down the right logical path.

Treasure Hunters are by their nature seekers of material

things. This does not always mean that they are miserly

or even hedonistic. There are many reasons to be tempted

by the thrill of old and dangerous places. Many reasons

to need coin.

d8 Personality Trait

1 I’m obsessed with things from a prior age,

collecting many relics from that time.

2 I studied history academically, apprenticed to a

famous scholar.

take me to foreign places.

significance of everything I see.

7 I have a rival who seeks to thwart my endeavors.

troubled past.

2 Drive. Goals define our existence. (Neutral)

3 Cunning. Outsmart the past. (Any)

4 Flexibility. Stay fluid and think on your feet.

(Chaotic)

(Lawful)

people who inhabit the past. (Good)

2 No trap can stop me.

d6 Flaw

1 I constantly speak in riddles.

2 I’m more concerned with treasure than people.

3 I think I deserve all the glory.

4 When working on a puzzle, I stop noticing

everything else around me.

5 My mentor died trying to solve a particular

mystery and I’m obsessed with following in their

footsteps.

6 I often forget to plan an escape route out of the

dungeon.
