SSoS | Planar Wanderer

Planar Wanderers are powerful warriors attuned to the Material Plane and one or more other planes of existence. Channelling the power of these planes, a Planar Wanderer can inflict extra damage on their opponents, channel magic through themselves, call on allies from beyond the planes, and even open gateways between the planes themselves. A Planar Wanderer may have gained their powers from traversing the planes, or they may have been conceived or born alongside a planar rift. No matter the origin of their abilities, a Planar Wanderer often finds themself capable of attuning to more planes through contact with them. Many Planar Wanderers form orders whose members come from all across the planes and serve to protect the borders between planes.
