You spent your early life going from one plane to another. Perhaps you were born to it or perhaps you are but a refugee from a cosmic disaster that spilled into your native plane. Your formative years spent thus, you have acquired a unique perspective on the multiverse, and while you may have settled down, for now, you understand the desire to see new skies.

Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, Survival

Languages: Any two planar languages (such as Abyssal, Celestial, Infernal, Primordial, or Sylvan)

Equipment: A diary, scrapbook, or small box with mementos of your travels, traveler’s clothes, a walking stick (quarterstaff), blanket, and 10 gp in unusual coinage.

Feature: Catalogue of Worlds

You have heard stories all your life from other planar nomads. This gives you almost instant recognition of any world you stumble into. You might not know its name, but you know its basic features such as alignments (if any), climate, main inhabitants, known hazards, and where other planar travelers might gather. These are things that would be common knowledge among planar nomads and nothing that could not otherwise be learned from a few days of exploration.

Suggested Characteristics

Planar nomads are a myriad and motley bunch. They have their own community and at first may seem like outsiders, but their one unifying characteristic is the ability to adapt to wherever they are despite or because of where they have come from.
