    I guess it depends on how ambitious you are. Aprendices looking for an easy way to power often end up evil even if they didn't plan to.

    In the novel A Darker Shade of Magic, and it's sequels by Victoria E. Schwab

    Kell is one of the last Antari—magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel Londons; Red, Grey, White, and, once upon a time, Black

    Each "London" is in a different world (and two of them have a nearly identical tavern/Inn), and the worlds are distinct.

    "Grey" London is in what's presumably the 19th century of our real world and it smells of smoke, "Red" London is a bright shining world filled with magic and it smells of flowers, "White" London also has magic, but it's a grim world that smells of blood, and "Black" London no longer has human life.

    This ability to travel to different world's, some wondrous, others less so, almost instantly, really intrigues me, I suppose the D&D "Planeshift" ability is similar, so I'm nodding for that.

    Knowing my luck, I'd be the guard the adventurers(hopefully) knock out on their way to the BBEG's lair :P

    Preferably, though, I'd be the innkeeper. Noones ever killed an innkeeper in any campaign I've seen... yet.

    The all-knowing mysterious oracle on some remote, hard-to-reach island/mountaintop/plane who'll answer some questions in exchange for tribute but otherwise doesn't interfere with the plot. Who also may or may not be a dragon or some other powerful immortal. Barring that, a college mage.

    Realistically, though? I'd probably end up as some peasant farmer.

    i dunno, probably the town drunk/madman, stumbling around in a stupor, occasionally screaming warnings at people. shouting my mad ravings and terrible prophecies to the sky! and drinking, to dull the horrible visions of a unholy future!

    Aristocrat. No debate. I would be born into wealth, live my life with wealth and influence, be able to afford all the best health care for me and my family, good schools for my son. I'd study whatever field I wished to know, because I could just bring in a sage to teach me. My spouse would be free to pursue her passions and ambitions because I'd never have to say, "it's not in the budget" ever again.

    Heck, I might even pass some legislation now and again... do my area of influence some good.

    I have to go with the mostly-retired sea captain, who has an easy smile and a ~mysterious past.~ Is she an ex-pirate? A bronze dragon in disguise? A randomly-rolled collection of stats that the party is reading way too much into? Who knows?? Definitely not the PCs!

    I think I'd want to either be a hermit deep in the woods, or have a tavern someplace far out on a trade route. Either way I'd want lycanthropy of some sort for protection.

    I'd have to go with the tower wizard hermit. It seems like a career with a reasonable degree of safety, and for a nominal hermitage there's inevitably a great deal of social interaction, which suits me fine.
    I would really like to see a game made by Obryn, Kurald Galain, and Knaight from these forums.

    I'm not joking one bit. I would buy the hell out of that.

    Personally I think being some sort of arcane biologist would be interesting, especially with all the strange creatures that exist in different fantasy worlds. In fact, I think that's what I'll have my D&D character become if they make it to the end of the campaign and retire. Would definitely focus my research on the creatures of the various plains... more so if I got an awesome airship or something... kinda like Spelljamer from 2nd ed D&D.

I guess I can bump down to daughter of a rich merchant, then? That'll come with a decent amount of comfort without any strings attached. That seems to be the best option.

    I'm not a native english speaker and I'm dyslexic(that doesn't mean I have low IQ quite the opposite actually it means I make a lot of typos).
