Best Weapons: Weapon Tier List
You'll want to equip yourself with good gear to bolster your defense during your travels. Anything that can reduce all types of damage should work well in most cases.
 Extrovert |
You're a people person. Exerting yourself uses less oxygen when adventuring with human companions. but more when adventuring alone. (Can't be combined with Introvert.) |
|---|---|
 Hero Worshipped |
You've earned the attention of an annoying "Adoring Fan" who will show up randomly and jabber at you incessantly. On the plus side, he'll join your ship's crew and give you gifts... |
 Raised Universal |
You grew up as a member of the Sanctum Universum. You gain access to a special chest full of items in the Sanctum Universum in New Atlantis, but lose access to the House of the Enlightened chest. (Can't be combined with any other religion trait.) |
Any religion trait, such as Raised Universal, is highly recommended for this build as part of your background, not just for their benefits but also to expand your character. You could also pick Extrovert if you wish to take on your new journey with a companion. Hero Worshipped fits the bill as a wanderer whose name has reached the better part of the universe.
