You gain the following benefits when traveling for an hour or more:
•Difficult terrain doesn’t slow your group’s travel.
•Your group can’t become lost except by external means, for example, drug use.
•If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a normal pace.
•When you forage, you find twice as much food as you normally would.
•While tracking other creatures, if you are successful, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.

Fighting Style

At 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

Gunnery (Ballistics)

You gain a +2 bonus to Attack rolls you make with Ballistic Weapons.

Gunnery (Energy)

You gain a +2 bonus to Attack rolls you make with Energy Weapons.

Defence

While you are wearing armour, you reduce the armour penalty by 1 to a minimum of 0.

Duelling

When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other Weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to Damage Rolls with that weapon.

Dual Weapons

This ability works depending if you are wielding either two melee weapons or two ranged weapons only. You may also draw or stow two one-handed weapon of the same type when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one. This action also takes up your bonus action.

Range  : When wielding two one-handed range weapons, you may add +1 to all damage.

Melee   : When attacking with your off-hand weapon, you add your Strength or Agility to damage.

Survivor Archetype

At 3rd level, you choose an archetype that you strive to emulate, such as the Scavenger or Gunslinger, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants features at 3rd level, and again at 5th, 7th, 11th, 15th level.

Survival Awareness

Beginning at 3rd level, you have the ability to focus your awareness on the region around you. You can sense whether the following types of creatures are present within 250 feet of you: Human, Ghouls, Super Mutants, Animals or Insects.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase two Ability Scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above the maximum of your race. You may also choose to forgo this benefit and take a perk instead.

Evasion

Beginning at 6th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as an autofire attack or an explosion from a grenade. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make an Agility saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw. However, you still take full damage if you fail. There will be certain times where evasion will not take effect based on GM’s discretion

This ability is active only when wearing light or no armour at all.

Fleet of Foot

Beginning at 8th level, you can use the Dash action as a bonus action on your turn.

Kick the Bucket

At level 9, Should an attempt to search yield nothing, the Wanderer may attempt to make another search check. The DC will stay the same. The Wanderer is only allowed one more search attempt therefore, should the Wanderer fail a second time, he cannot make a third attempt at a search check. Kicking the bucket may only be attempted once every short rest.

Hide in Plain Sight

Starting at 10th level, you can remain perfectly still for long periods of time to set up ambushes. When you attempt to hide on your turn, you can opt to not move on that turn. If you avoid moving, creatures that attempt to detect you take a −10 penalty to their Perception checks until the start of your next turn. You lose this benefit if you move or fall prone, either voluntarily or because of some external effect. You are still automatically detected if any effect or action causes you to no longer be hidden.

If you are still hidden on your next turn, you can continue to remain motionless and gain this benefit until you are detected

Radiation Resistance

At level 13, the Wanderer gains slight resistance to the radiation that pollutes the world. Whenever he takes radiation damage, he may reduce the amount absorbed by ¼, rounded down to a minimum of 1.

At level 17, this ability increases in potency. Whenever the Wanderer takes radiation damage, he may reduce the amount absorbed by half, rounded down to a minimum of 1.

Vanish

Starting at 14th level, you can use the Hide action as a Bonus Action on Your Turn. Also, any attempt to track you is at a disadvantage unless you choose to leave a trail.

Stroke of Luck

At 18th level, you have an uncanny knack for surviving. If you are struck by an opponent, you may force that opponent to roll the attack roll again with a disadvantage. Alternatively, if you fail an ability check, you can treat the d20 roll as a 10.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Short or Long Rest.

Survival Mastery

At Level 20, the Wanderer gains one of the following ability.
The Wanderer may commit his entire action to defence for one round protecting himself and one other person. For that one round the Wanderer and one other target within 5 feet of him gains the following benefits. +10 to AC, +5 to all Saves and benefits from the Evasion ability. This ability may only be used once every long rest.
