How would you play this character? The character is The Traveller, who I've mentioned before. He (or she) is a very Doctor Who-like figure who shows up from campaign to campaign. I'm toying with the idea of an actual campaign based on his adventures. I'm interested as to how many possible permutations people can come up with. The guidelines are as follows:
The beauty of the Traveller is he (or she) can be inserted into any campaign or system, and his (or her) race, class and so forth constantly changes, as do his (or her) ability scores. There are a few traits the Traveller always possesses, namely:
The beauty of the Traveller is he (or she) can be inserted into any campaign or system, and his (or her) race, class and so forth constantly changes, as do his (or her) ability scores. There are a few traits the Traveller always possesses, namely:
- Intelligence 22. This never changes from incarnation to incarnation – at every reincarnation it ‘resets’ so any ability increases disappear.
- Neutral Good alignment.
- Maxed out Knowledge (the Planes) skill (this would be free)
- Maximum ranks in a unique skill called Travelling, which grants knowledge of the operation of the Roamer, different worlds and dimensions, and so on. This would also be free to the PC.
- An insatiable curiosity about absolutely everything.
- A natural predilection for working alone, or with only a small group.
- Incurable wanderlust – the Traveller is never comfortable being in the same place for too long.
- The urge to explore – even when he (or she) meant to end up somewhere completely different, she (or he) can’t resist having a look at where he’s (or she’s) ended up, and maybe doing a bit of shopping.
- A relaxed attitude to life and a cavalier attitude to trouble. This doesn’t mean the Traveller can’t be cowardly, but he (or she) is so used to ending up in the thick of dangerous situations she (or he) has gotten very used to it by now.
