The Wanderers




They are wanderers among the stars, descendants of some ancient race that was particularly sensitive to the emanations of the cosmos.

These are based on the format of +Skerples'  races, and are a fine fit for spaceship crews.

Mercury

Lean and fleet-footed. Grey, pock-marked skin. Hairless.
  • Reroll DEX
  • Will not get tired from from running
  • Will die if more than lightly encumbered
Venus

Wreathed in veils of golden haze. Beneath the clouds one might glimpse rugose folds of technicolor fungi. Eyes like stars. Always female.
  • Reroll CHA
  • Take half damage from fire, acid, and heat.
  • Will corrode carried items that are not glass or magical metal
Earth

Swarthy brown. Stout. Hair like moss. Smells of petrichor. Tracks dirt and dew everywhere.
  • Reroll choice
  • Can speak with animals and plants
  • Disadvantage on saves against poison
Mars

Wiry, rust-red. Hair and beards like dirty snow. Drink blood. Broken teeth. Always cold to the touch. Always male.
  • Reroll STR
  • Does not need to drink water
  • Spites peace in all forms
Jupiter

Broad shoulders, thundering voice. Banded skin like orange sherbet. Hair like roiling clouds, blue and white. Red right eye socket, empty.
  • Reroll CON
  • Cannot be knocked prone
  • Aura of spell failure (save vs magic to cast), draws spell aggro
Saturn

Tawny gold skin. Ice-particle halo. Faint hexagon scales. Elegant and calm.
  • Reroll INT
  • Can float atop water
  • Eat their own children
Uranus

Electric blue and placid. Features are rotated 90 degrees: the upper limbs are one leg and one arm, the line of the face is perpendicular with the ground, and so on.
  • Reroll at random
  • Trained in a random skill (3-in-6)
  • Perpetual target of mockery
Neptune

Deep blue, splotched with darker spots and ribbed with white. Bide their time, waiting for moments where patience might be discared and storms may erupt.
  • Reroll WIS
  • Half damage from cold
  • Cannot eat cooked or warm food
Pluto

Reddish brown and white. Small. Orbited by five small, smooth stones, said to be plucked from the rivers of the dead.

  • Reroll none
  • Advantage to saves against fear, can speak with the dead.
  • Haunted by cold and lost souls

    1. More the other way around: I use GLOG magic with LotFP for my home games.
