D&D 5E Class Group Traveller

[Celebrim]

If the rogue class group were to be named Traveller (containing rogue, ranger, and bard) what does that tell us about the classes in the class group?

I think it is as good of a superclass name as you'll likely to find. Interestingly, it also would contain well my homebrew Explorer class - which pretty much exactly has the core concepts you've described.

Seriously, Travel[l]er isn't bad.

Venturer, voyager, wanderer, and pioneer all also work.

Rover, wanderer, nomad, vagabond. Call me what you will. /Metallica.

Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy -- rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief?

Explorer or adventurer are fine with me. Traveler doesn't quite do it -- it's one step from there to Strider.

Venturer, voyager, wanderer, and pioneer all also work.

Now I am really feeling old. Voyager just have the effect of remind me Voyage, Voyage from Desireless...

I think I like traveler a lot.

I swore that I would never play the wild rover no more.

I'm not really a fan of having the Ranger and the Rogue in the same group. Rangers are warriors, aren't they? Can't rangers use heavy weapons and armor? Don't they specialize in melee and ranged combat?

I also don't think the word "traveler" describes the Rogue. Doesn't the flavor of the class imply being urban, streetwise, etc.? Nothing about that implies going from place to place--to me, it more implies "I've lived in this city longer than you've been alive... I know every back alley and every bad mofo in town."

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy....

No never no more?

Hmmm ... rover sounds like a good class! Or maybe a rambler, a gambler ...
