Well Travelled

You have traveled all around the world and made friends in every continent. You know so many people that no matter where you go you will likely run into someone. You're the type of person that could go to a tavern in the Underdark and find you're friend from college on the opposite side of the world, or maybe run into an old drinking buddy on a boat. How do you even know these people? Why are you friends with a King from that far-away city? When did you meet that celebrity? It's a long story.

Feature: Friends around the World

You somehow just know people no matter where you are. You could walk into any bar and always find a table of friends. This comes in handy when you are on the road as often as you are. These friends could help you out with small favours, or might ask help of you. Either way, you'll still be expected to have fun with them, try not to get into too much trouble!

Alternate Feature: Enemies around the World

No matter where you go, you see people you've met before. Probably not a good thing, you've somehow managed to piss off everyone of them. You can't even go into a bar anymore without starting a brawl. You're banned from many establishments and may even be wanted in a few towns. You've gotten pretty good at hiding from people now, sticking to back allies while still moving at a good speed. You can travel through urban areas at any speed while still moving stealth, and can even guide your allies down these secret routes. You also gain proficiency with the disguise kit.

Alternate Feature 2: I Know a Guy

You know many people that can help with anything you could ever want. Need to fix up an old set of armour? You know a good metal worker in the next town over that might give you a discount. Want a new magic item? You know just who to call, but they might want something in return. Many people are still in debt to you for help you've already given them. They might repay you with vital information or free labour: just don't push it.

Suggested Characteristics

Travelling the road isn't all sunshine and rainbows. You've seen some shit, you've done some shit. But then again, maybe you haven't. How do people know you? Are you the traveler that is always up for a laugh? Or are you still jet-lagged and tire from the trip?
