Changeling Traveller Image

From Exploring Eberron p.205 - 206

You’re an urban nomad, wandering from city to city, a force for change—much like the Traveller who bestowed you with your supernatural gifts. You spent your childhood traveling
with your family, using your abilities to evade your enemies and ensure the single-skins give you whatever you need. Your family is part of a wider network of changeling clans, and you
can take advantage of the havens, traditions, and personas your people have sowed across the lands. Most travellers are changelings. If you’re not a changeling, you were born to a
changeling parent and grew up around them; you may even use a disguise kit or illusion magic to mimic their abilities.

As a traveller, you’re most comfortable on the move and dislike staying in any one place for too long. Your people’s traditions predate the laws of Galifar, and you have little attachment to any concept of nation or property; your first loyalty is to your family and your friends. Some travellers ignore the laws of the Five Nations, or even see tricking single-skins as a sport and enjoy defying them. However, most respect the people around them; if they acquire an item from a single-skin, they’ll compensate with something of equal value. Some sow chaos in the name of the Traveller, while others seek to understand people and serve as a bridge between cultures. What path do you follow?

Fledgling Persona

Personas are important tools for traveler clans. Every clan has a set of shared personas, identities that have an established role in a particular region. But these personas need to be refreshed over time, and it’s your duty to develop a new persona that can be useful to the clan. Over the course of your adventuring career, you’re expected to establish useful connections and build a positive reputation for this identity. You can select your persona from the Personas table or roll randomly, then add details to develop them into a unique identity.

Feature: The Right Face for the Job

Traveller clans use well-established personas to secure shelter and information wherever they go. This could be a priest who will receive sustenance at the local temple, a folk hero who will be sheltered by the common people, or a veteran soldier who can always get a bed at the local garrison. When you’re approaching a new community, work with the DM to
determine if there could be a persona with roots in that place; as long as you play that role, you can usually obtain modest food and lodging and gain access to local gossip.
In addition, when you encounter other members of your clan, you can ask them for help or information, provided this doesn’t place them at risk. However, this is a two-way
street; if another member of your clan approaches you with a reasonable request, you’re expected to provide assistance.

 
Suggested Characteristics

While changeling travelers can be tricksters and agents of chaos, others strive to support strangers and have a positive influence wherever they go. Are you a charming scoundrel, a
devotee of the Traveler, or just trying to stay out of trouble?
