You are from one of the planes. You have come to this part of the Prime Material plane for your own reasons, which you might or might not choose to share.
Although you will undoubtedly find some of this land’s ways to be strange and discomfiting, you can also be sure that some things its people take for granted will be to you new wonders that you’ve never laid eyes on before. Having seen the wonders of the planes you are frequently surprised that the Prime Material plane holds beauty and wonder in such abundance. Perhaps you'll stay a while.

Suggested Characteristics
These are the suggested characteristics for Planar Traveler.
| d6 | Personality Trait |
|---|---|
| 1 | I have different assumptions from those around me concerning personal space, blithely invading others’ space in innocence, or reacting to ignorant invasion of my own. |
| 2 | I have my own ideas about what is and is not food, and I find the eating habits of those around me fascinating, confusing, or revolting. |
| 3 | I have a strong code of honor or sense of propriety that others don’t comprehend. |
| 4 | I express affection or contempt in ways that are unfamiliar to others. |
| 5 | I begin or end my day with small traditional rituals that are unfamiliar to those around me. |
| 6 | Sarcasm and insults are my weapons of choice. |
| d6 | Ideal |
|---|---|
| 1 | Righteous. Justice is absolute and perfect, but it's got to be correctly applied. (Good) |
| 2 | Determination. Those that work hard get what they deserve. Nothing's free - not in this life or any other. (Lawful) |
| 3 | Freedom. Every creature's free to find his own path, his own meaning to the multiverse. (Chaotic) |
| 4 | Destruction. Things are supposed to crumble, and it's my job to keep the meddlers from messing it up too much. (Evil) |
| 5 | Reflection. Quit looking for meanings, accept what happens, and look inward. (Neutral) |
| 6 | Patience. All things can ascend to greater glory — if not in this life, then in the next. (Any) |

| 3 | I have a weakness for the new intoxicants and other pleasures of this land. |
| 4 | I don’t take kindly to some of the actions and motivations of the people of this land, because these folk are different from me. |
