This page needs grammatical help. Reason: Class feature need to be properly worded. Also capitalization.

This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: Missing introduction.

This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Plane Shift teleports a willing creature. I think Plane Shift is a 7th level spell, but here a 2nd level character can do it?

Spellcasting
While the Planes Walker does not really do any Spellcasting, you do require a DC for some of your actions.
The spellcasting ability modifier is what will be used to determine damage done by Planar skills, healing, etc.
Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.
Spell Attack Modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.
Unarmored Defense
While you are not wearing any armor, your armor class equals 10 + your Strength modifier + Your Wisdom modifier. You can still use a shield and maintain this benefit.
Tattooed
At 1st level, as a Planes Walker, your body is more attuned to the magics of nature and has in turn grown more adept at resisting the negative side effects from these magics. Your resistance allows you to maintain twice the number (8 instead of 4 basic or 4 instead of 2 medium or 2 instead of 1 large) of tattooed slots on your person at any time.
Planar Charges
At 2nd level, the Planes Walker's body has become adjusted to multiple different environments and in so doing, with the prolonged exposure, has the ability to channel a small amount of that planar energy into their abilities each day. Most planar skills require one or more charges, and they are renewed after a short rest.
Unarmored Movement
At 2nd level, your speed increases by 10 feet when you are not wearing any armor or wearing a shield.
Plane Shift
At 2nd level, due to your growing up in and around the planes, you have become naturally accustomed to traveling between them. Using two of your planar charges you can transport one willing creature to another plane of existence that you know and have been to.
Planar Knowledge
At 3rd level, you choose a plane to defend. Choose between Celestia, Baator or Mechanus, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level, and again at 6th, 10th, 14th and 19th levels.
Ability Score Increase
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th and 16th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2 or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by one. As normal, you cannot increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice instead of once, whenever you take the attack action on your turn.
Enhanced Knowledge
At 6th level, you are now able to use additional charges to increase the effectiveness of your skills. The details are listed next to each skill individually.

Planar Tongue
As you have grown as a Planes Walker and traveled far and wide, you have learned numerous different languages from different races. Upon attaining 11th level, when spending two planar charges, you can speak any language spoken within the planes for the next 24 hours, then the knowledge leaves your mind.
Improved Shift
Having much more experience and practice, at 13th level you are now able to shift to any plane within existence even if you have not been there before. As well, you now only need to spend one charge per willing creature.
Weathered Form
At 15th level, as a Planes Walker, your body has traveled and suffered from a lot of different weather patterns and energy flows. This has caused your exterior to gain a more intimidating presence. For any roll of Intimidation your proficiency bonus is doubled, or you are now proficient in Intimidation.
