Tourist (5e Class)
Tourists are a wandering breed of peoples, exploring the world nonchalantly in the hopes of exitement.
The Tourist
Ever since the dawn of time there have been adventurers, this adventurers were quickly followed by tourists. Tourists do not adventure for money or for the good of other people. They are people who want a break from the monotony of their homeland, so they spend an inordinate amount of money just to look at some statues. To play as a tourist you have to act like a self-centred idiot.
Creating a Tourist
To start off, you must ask yourself why you wanted to leave your home country, are you a joyrider with nothing to do? Or are you an old retired craftsman on a package holiday? Did anyone come with you on your holiday? Maybe your companion was lost at sea or eaten by a tourist attraction. These are questions you have to ask when you are considering becoming a Tourist.
