very adventurer feels the call to
explore new lands, but some wont settle
for finding out whats beyond the next
hill. These adventurers leave the Material Plane
behind to travel the multiverse in search of
adventure. Below are two new archetypes for
planesfaring adventurers. The Planar Explorer
is a new archetype for rangers who cross the
boundaries between worlds and hunt the most
dangerous creatures in the multiverse. The second
new archetype is the Way of Infinite Worlds, a
new monastic tradition for monks who wish to
transcend this plane of existence.

Planar Explorer
(Ranger Archetype)
The Planar Explorer is a new ranger archetype
that specializes in traveling and mapping the
Inner and Outer planes. Their specialized abilities
grant them the power to combat the denizens of
the planes whether they are celestial, elemental, or
fiendish.
The first lesson that a Planar Explorer learns
is that the barriers between the planes are not
impregnable. Ancient wizards and other beings
have left permanent planar portals that bold
travelers can use. Other portals occur naturally,
and whether these are permanent or temporary,
they offer doorways to distant planes. Planar
Explorers use these pathways to travel the planes,
exploring areas where most rangers dare not go. writing Anthony Jennings
