Foraging
The Wanderer has a 2-in-6 change to succeed in foraging.Far Traveled
The Wanderer reduces the chance of Losing Direction by one point, but never less than 1-in-6. This only applies to overland travel.Arcane Magic
Magical research: See Magic-User in Old-School Essentials Basic Rules.Spell casting: At 2nd level the Wanderer is able to cast arcane spells (Magic-User spell list). See Magic-User in Old-School Essentials Basic Rules.
The spells represent how many spells can be cast per day. The maximum spell level depends on the character level (see the following table).

12 - 14 | 3rd |

A Wanderer may establish a caravan.The Wanderer will attract follower (3d6 Fighter of level 1-2 and 2d6 Thieves if level 1-3). Their morale depends on the success of the last expeditions. The referee decides about the level of the followers and their morale.

===========================================
EDIT -> Changes after I got some feedback
===========================================
I separated the number of spells that can be cast per day and the maximum spell level. The XP were also adjusted. To do so I used Building a More Perfect Class blog post. The class is using the Cleric Saving Throws and Attack, and it is classified as Magic-User 1/4.
I love this, "wanderers" are my favourite character type, when I build example characters in point buy systems like GUPRS or The Dark Eye.
ReplyDeleteWhile I referee mostly OSR games, it never occured to me, to actually do a wanderer class.
Thanks for the inspiration!
