  Silent Speaker: Through your travels, you’ve learned to communicate with those who don’t share your language using non-verbal means. At 1st level, you gain proficiency with the Hand Signs language. Additionally, as a bonus action, you can use a free hand to relay a message of 6 words or less to any creature you can see. To understand the message, the creature must be able to see you and must speak at least one language.   Frontier Medicine: By 2nd level, you’ve learned various methods of improvised healing. When you make a successful Medicine check to stabilize an unconscious creature, that creature also gains hit points equal to 1d8 plus your Wayfinder level. Once you use this feature, you must complete a short or long rest before you use it again.   Stoic Teacher: At 2nd level, you’ve gained enough experience with your feats that you can teach them to others. At the beginning of a long rest, you can choose one creature friendly to you to share the benefits of one of your feats. They must meet any prerequisites for the feat, they cannot already know the feat, and they must choose the same options you did for any choices that feat allows. At levels 7 and 14, you can teach a second and then a third feat this way.   Wayfinder Vocation: At 3rd level, you choose your Wayfinder’s vocation: Arcane Collector or Explorer. Both are detailed at the end of this class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 11th, and 18th level.A   Ability Score Improvement: When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead.   Extra Attack: Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.   Rugged Endurance: At 7th level, you’ve been hardened to the damaging effects of weather and other common travel hazards. As a result, you have advantage on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws against effects that deal Acid, Cold, Fire, or Poison damage. Additionally, you recover from an extra level of exhaustion after a long rest.   Fight Dirty: At 10th level, you’ve become adept at adding insult to injury in fights. When you make a weapon attack, you can use your bonus action to choose one of the following options based on your weapon’s properties. The DC to avoid the effect is equal to 10 + your Intelligence modifier. If the attack is a critical hit, the target automatically fails the save.

• If your weapon has the reach or heavy property, you can use it to trip your enemies. The enemy must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
• If your weapon has the finesse property, you can use it to disarm your enemies. The enemy must succeed on a Strength saving throw or drop a held weapon of your choice that isn’t heavy. The weapon is thrown 10 feet away to the side you choose.
• If your weapon has the thrown property, you can strategically target pressure points and vulnerable areas, causing your enemies to flinch. The enemy must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or its speed is halved during its next turn.

Reliable Talent: By 13th level, you have refined your chosen Skills until they approach perfection. Whenever you make an ability check that lets you add your Proficiency Bonus, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.   Just a Scratch: Even at 15th level, you aren’t the most skilled fighter around, but you can take bigger hits than your adversaries. After a single source deals damage to you greater than half your maximum hit points, you can use your reaction to gain temporary hit points equal to twice your Wayfinder level.   Improved Rugged Endurance: At 17th level, your Rugged Endurance feature now allows you to automatically succeed on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws against effects that deal Acid, Cold, Fire, or Poison damage. Additionally, you recover from all levels of exhaustion after a long rest.   Seen it All: By the time you’ve reached 20th level, you’ve dealt with every challenge the road can throw at you and come out the other side stronger for it. You are immune to the Frightened, Poisoned, and Stunned conditions.

You must be in a location that’s represented on your map in order to cast spells with that map.   At the end of a long rest, choose two options from each Cartomancy level you have access to. For the rest of the following day, you can cast each of these spells once per short rest.

You can now choose any combination of map spells regardless of their level and can also incorporate new spells into your maps by copying down spell scrolls. You cannot use your map to cast spells with a range of self or touch unless they have an area of at least 15 feet.
