Wanderer

Requires: ✦ Agility
Start with: 4 Life, +1 Awareness, ✪ Leaf on the Wind

You’re at home when you’re on the move. Clambering up cliffsides, hiding in crumbling ruins, circling around foes, or ambushing from the shadows—a Wanderer is a master of movement, terrain, and evasion. When a Wanderer needs to fight, they fight indirectly, with instincts honed in the unsteady reaches of the Skysea. You start with the following ability:

✪ Leaf on the Wind

✦ Agility Take -1 awareness to perform the Evade maneuver as a free action at any time, not just on your turn. You can even use this ability after an attack is rolled against you, potentially turning a hit into a block or miss. However, you can only Evade one attack at a time with this ability.

Ask the Guide:

Where's the best place to get a good lay of the island?
What's the easiest way to get there? The safest?
Where do I think this character is from?
What rumors have I heard about this subject in my travels?
