Talk:Planar Traveler (5e Background)

This background, all in all, is pretty good, through I would like to mention a few needed improvements and a few other suggestions. The only real issue I see with the background is the fact that it only gives 3 learned languages/proficiencies instead of 4 learned languages/proficiencies(maybe add Primordial language?) like all other 1st party backgrounds. Besides that, most standard backgrounds contain a belt pouch with at least 5 gold contained within them, so I would recommend adding that as well to the equipment part of the background.

With those thoughts out of the way, looking at the rest of the background, I like the idea of elementals giving you a chance to talk to other planar creatures, though I think you should add the fact that it only works on intelligent creatures and the suggested characteristics seem to fit the background quite well. In total, a decent background that could use a few fixes here and there.--Blobby383b (talk) 20:29, 21 October 2018 (MDT)

I was going to comment how well this article is and my like for it. Then I see Blobby already reviewed it and it looks the advice was taken (MISS YOU BLOBBY!!) I'd like to review this myself and then I think it may be good enough to go through the Quality Article process :) ~ BigShotFancyMan (talk) 10:38, 8 February 2019 (MST)

Question about travelling the planes

Why have you stopped? If you'd been doing it, or had been or at least had the capabilities why did you stop!? lol I would love to travel planes at level 1 and this background you do but then you stop when you become an adventurer??? confused ~ BigShotFancyMan (talk) 10:41, 8 February 2019 (MST)

Most reasonable explanation I can think of is you somehow lost the ability to. Maybe it was a one-time thing if you're new to it, or maybe you lost the tool/item/whatever that let you plane travel. But those are the only examples that seem reasonable to me. --Arcane (talk) 10:11, 8 March 2019 (MST)

Sorry it took a while for me to respond to this. Yeah what Arcane outlined was what I was thinking, the means of your planar travel was most likely fluke or one time occurrence (the boon of a powerful entity, an ancient artifact, an explosion of magic gone awry, etc.). Potentially it could have been a series of uncontrollable occurences, but besides that other options would have to be discussed between the player and the DM. - Itenen (talk) 14:15, 8 March 2019 (MST)
