Building a Planar Philosopher Character
Some groups of planar philosophers might have preferences for or against certain types of characters, but by and large any character that upholds and furthers the beliefs of the group is welcome within its ranks.
Suggested Characteristics. Adventurers who dedicate themselves to a particular philosophy toward the multiverse are welcomed among the faction that embraces those beliefs. The Planar Philosopher Personality Traits table suggests various traits you might adopt for your character, and which factions would welcome adventurers with those traits.
